Very exciting, Roland!

There's a new insulating product called Nsiltech (or somesuch): it's
mylar sheet over bubblepack, sold at building supply stores. It's
pretty cheap, and seems to do a good job of rejecting unwanted heat.
When the GT6's interior comes out next month, I'm going to install a
layer under the carpets, especially over the tranny cover.

The other thing I plan to do is get the exhaust header coated with one
of the high tech coatings. I experimented with header wrap tape and it
made a big difference, but I managed to scrape a lot of it off going
over curbs and speed bumps.

I'm also looking at ways to fashion a scoop to direct more air into the
scuttle vent -- I'll probably make something discreet out of Lexan. I'm
not sure where the Snake gets its air, but you might consider something similar.
