is it a good idea to wrap the inlet manifold on the supercharged (eaton 45) to keep it away from the exhaust heat

. or will the charger heat transfer to the manifold and by wraping it i would be keeping the heat in the manifold when i want to be getting rid of it ???

Leaving it unwrapped, heat wrap is to keep heat in

engines run better with cold air :cry:

cold air is more dense and makes a bigger explotion with in the chamber :thumbsup: hense why they use alloy inlets because they cool quicker than cast iron
