24-28 degrees is quite a bit cooler.

Re: carbon fiber intake

I did my research and found Advance Flow Engineering. When I called them they told me they hadn't done one yet, but they offered to use my car for the demo. I went down and got the car fitted and the intake looks really sweet. I'm going next week to have the system installed and put on the dyno before and after. Evosport and Powerchip are going to further the installation with some computer mods and test the car on their dyno before and after. I'll post all the dyno results and post some pictures in the next month. I'm positive they'll get some true rwhp and I'll be there for both dyno tests. I’ll have some real numbers to post on the message board.



John
