Over The weekend added The green belt and some new different green filters...
when I took the belt wrap pulley off to add new belt I forgot which side it went back on but gave a quick call to Mr. Shardul and he clarified it right away... Thanks for answering your phone man and helping always.

How do you find drawing hot engine compartment air to support your engine, do you remove the lower plastic panels to vent. Does the intake temp increase when you are sitting in traffic with no air flow through the scoops? All 63's kick off a huge amount of heat which is usually retained all night with the engine still warm in the morning, could not think drawing intake air from this setup would be beneficial. Heat transfer with the stainless must be a issue also. Looks good though.

Looks gorgeous man. Have you ever actually logged IAT's though? I'm in FL as well and I had a metal piping intake originally. I reverted back to the stock boxes and plastic intake tubes and my IAT's dropped almost 10°. Heat soak on these cars is a B*tch.

IMO I don't believe the metal piping is in issue as the air is moving so fast it doesn't have time to heat up,I do think grabbing the air from inside engine compartment will hurt a little ,even though its air intakes are right in front of filters,I only say this because I have tried multiple intake set ups and anytime I tried that set up car ran slower,I have data logging and accelerometer,I am currently running 90mm TB with a 4 inch y pipe using 2 spectre intake air boxes connected to stock air intakes at radiator 03sl55 this is the best set up I have come across so far but with filters removed car is faster
