cause i am, if i could turn my truck off at night at redlights i would. but my h.i.d lights dont like the sudden power draw and hot re-archs...

i have sealed the front of the hood with rubber foam, covered all openins except toward the header , and found something interesting.

my ai temps remain about 2 deg over ambient, but i had to take off kinda wquick and they jumped to about 15-18 degrees over that, maybe my ceremic long tube headers push to much heat out, to heat up the intake under normal easy driving, but under high acceleration, the heat builds up under the hood.
