Thanks for the kind words. Actually, Kinetic Racing Engines did tests with the turkey pan and found a very significant reduction in the intake air temperature. I don't remember all the numbers, but they wanted them on all their cars after that. They did the test with the original style. This one (with a hood seal) should do even better.
