Dont the 4.7's have the plastic type intake too? I noticed that my intake
never got cool enough to touch for longer than like 5 secs.... My buddy
went to the same track when it was cool, and ran a 14.1 stock in a 96 T/A,
and put gears in it, ram air, and hypertech, still ran a 14.1, even with new
tires.... I think the metal, huge intakes hurt bad in the heat...
