In long days past we ran a cool can for the fuel  on our GT-6,and saw a power
increase.  This was a one quart can with a coil of tubing inside then filled
with ice before the start of the event.  Worked great. Probably still
available from hot rod stores. Cool everything on the inlet tract is good.

  Hello:

  I recently had my TR4 in for a chassis dyno run to fine tune the carbs and
get
  some baseline specs on the engine.  After a run, one of the dyno folks
  suggested that I try a heat shield between the exhaust manifold and the
carb
  intake manifold to help keep the incoming fuel cooler.  Seems like a good
  suggestion, has anyone tried this?  Notice any positive results?
