Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far to this thread. You guys have helped me narrow down the options for what I will experiment with next into 3 stages. Feel free to throw in your
on the ideas.
Step 1
I plan on swapping in an electric fan, bumping up the AFM a tooth or two, and building a sheet metal barrier between the air intake and the engine. I have thought of also experimenting with an air scoop or several well placed holes behind the grill to force/direct outside air around the air filter.
Step 2
Adjustable cam gear, one step hotter plug to help burn the extra fuel from bumping up the air flow meter.
Step 3
Buy enginebldr.com head with porting and oversize valves.
I yanked the upper intake manifold off this last weekend and I am polishing the inside as far back as I can reach. I know this is a very small thing but looking at several upper intakes it should help in the long run by eliminating places for the nasty oil/dirt/gunk to build up. Has anyone had experience polishing a upper intake that can tell me how to get inside the individual tubes? I can get a dremmel and sand paper about an inch in and thats about all.
