I'm glad you're liking it thus far. The snipit I have is below. My email addy is: jc-aimhigher@webtv.net

Here is the info that I have. Allthough the numbers aren't astronomical, they do prove that a shield will dramatically reduce heat soak. I have measured a 50 degree F difference from the outside of the heat shield to the other side of the shield at the filter (KKM). It definitely aids in blocking the air the fans will blow into the intake as well. Here are some numbers besides the temps.

http://www.newcougar.org Chris A.'s car:
with the shield and hood closed: 164.0hp and 147.2lb/tq with the shield and hood open: 166.6hp and 147.8lb/tq
Blake's car:
hmmm....hood open = 164.3 hp / 144.5 lb. ft. hood closed = 160.4 hp / 141.6 lb. ft.
Both of these cars were built in the same month. They are both silver SVTs.

*UPDATE*
At SZ the EEC (computer) showed the IAT (intake air temp.) sensor to be reading 20F cooler with the shield in place!!! 20F is big. The temp showed 122F w/o the shield and 102F with the shield after just 5 minutes of idling in 70F weather and the engine up to operating temps. I have yet to get some more numbers of on the road and with more heat time. The numbers would only get better though!
