Message	:I have done some dreaming about replicating the stock manifold in a glass reinforced molded plastic. If we can reduce the thermal mass of the plenum, maybe we could get those intake temperatures down. I'm concerned with folks running 45 psi of boost. So a regular short weave composite wont do. If anything is to be done in composites, Kevlar will be a prime component, if I can source it. Kevlar is very difficult to find these days, especially military grade. Petz #3
