Well that's pretty interesting. It makes me wonder -- what WOULD the
temperature of the aluminum intake be without water? 2.5L or
232/258... I assume it would vary, and more than the iron manifold. I
suspect in warm-ish weather it would be fairly hot, but to be honest,
I have no idea how much heat energy the fuel+air mixture would suck
out of it at speed, or if manifold heat soak would overcome that.
