I also have a BBFE and IDA's and had heat also percolating the sh$t out of them. problem... too much heat under the hood flowing through hood opening heating the bodies of the carbs. The heat is not coming up through intake its the air passing by the carb bodies. Carbs were so hot I could not hold my hand on them. I wrapped my headers, and added angled shroud to back side of rad to through heat down. Really helped out . I have a straight up (not canted) intake with a large opening in the hood, no scoope. So I really had air flow up and alongside carbs. I also plan on shrouding the top of the Rad because alot of air is still flowing up past carbs but fan angled down and wrapping headers really helped
