icy cold

copied a mod that was posted some time back. i used rubber insulating tape to insulate the inlet hose; the air box; the throttlebody hose. then some on the front and back of i/c . sprayed water on top of seal of air box to hood and determined some airconditioner foam was needed. beautiful seal now . (adhesive spray) the tape foam on the hoses was followed by reflective ductwork tape. the tape was used on i/c bottom too to reflect heat as well as front and back of i/c. took for hard run and felt pre i/c and post . post was actually cold to touch.
