Recently I've taken a few longer drives in the car before coming to sudden stops, and I noticed the car seems extremely lethargic during this time. For the first 1/4mile or so after a stop the car really doesn't feel like it wants to move and seems like timing is being pulled. It's also the time where I'm most likely to notice some small misfires. I thought I was going crazy, until one of my passengers noticed it.
After weather cooled recently I also noticed and felt the car pulling a bit better to redline. Where it used to start running out of breath around 5750rpm or so, on cooler mornings it kept pulling linearly to 6400rpm. It made me think about the intake design. I think it's the root of the misfires I've felt and horrible timing pull feeling right off the line after interstate drives. Over the weekend I got the car pretty hot, then pulled off the check out that weird intake rectangle. It was way beyond hand touch hot. That giant aluminum heatsink might be helping keep some heat out, but it's also not doing anything for sustained heat build. The racecar version of the car avoids the entire weird intake plumbing and runs a filter into the bumper/headlight.
Obviously we need headlights for the street, but I'm thinking a titanium pipe wrapped in some gold foil, an intake elbow wrapped in gold, a turbo blanket, ceramic spraying the heatshields, and possibly a downpipe wrap at least at the head would help mitigate a lot of these issues. Now to find time to try...
