I was thinking of doing this with that gold intake shielding tape (this) - just because I live in Vegas and usually within 15 minutes of any journey I start feeling that heat-soaked lag, and it's a really significant drop in power. It's not my oil temps because I have the Stillen oil cooler kit which keeps me at around 180-190. But I also have the Stillen G3 intakes and I've noticed those pipes get super hot, so I was thinking it must be the IAT sensor being affected by sheer radiant heat from the hot metal intake pipes. Do you guys think the gold tape will make much difference in keeping those pipes cool?

Any other suggestions welcomed. I'm desperate to sort this out.
