Had an interesting conversation with my mechanic about increasing power/performance by lowering engine compartment air temp. Also, introducing a cold air intake.
This is a new topic for me. He suggested ceramic coating the intake manifolds and engine tin to help. Also insulating the fuel lines and rails. Anyone doing this? |

The car you saw at Marina is an autocross only car. It couldn't even drive 20 miles down the highway without overheating since it doesn't even have a cooling fan installed (yes, it has a couple of small electric fans but nothing enough to maintain the engine temperature).
I did a cold air intake for my car. http://members.rennlist.com/demick/ It's under the 4hp for $4 link Demick |
