Intake Manifold Question

Ummm...the main idea is to not make the heat rise?????....You must wire the heat riser open, or remove the flapper all together.

If you block the ports you have to wire it open, or remove it! Headers are an even better idea.
Use thin 26-21 gauge stainless steel, monel, titanium (anything that can take the heat) sandwiched between the gasket and the head.
