Took my hood liner off today. (Made sure to polish and wax under side of hood)

I noticed a drop in the IAT of more then 10 degrees! That's with no heatshield!

So underhood temps where much lower.

I could actually touch the intake manifold after driving it home today!!! It was very warm, but not hot or the usual scorching.

The hood was only warm to the touch. Maybe even cooler than with the hood-liner?

BTW it was 90ish & humid today here...
