IIRC its supposed to stop heat transfer from the lower intake to the upper intake because its made out of a material that doesn't transfer heat like metal.

cause the track heat's RPM range is 1500-6500 which is the perfect RPM range for me.

the street heat intake is only good from idle to 5500

i think the trickflow r intake is 2500 to 7000 or 7500 if i was gonna spin those rpm's i would get an edelbrock efi spyder intake

Aren't those rpm ranges based on use for a 302.

You have a 347, which requires more air, thus the rpm range changes significantly. You could easily run an R intake or a systemax on a 347 with TW heads. Unported TW heads flow like 250 cfm, how does that compare to the lower intake for the street/track heat (which use the same lower)?
