   im thinking of getting a raceland 4-2-1 manifold
   
   however i have a raceland enclosed induction kit will this melt from the heat or is the distance between them enough so it will be okay?
   
   cheers

   Carbon doesn't tend to melt with it being pretty much glass. Might be wise to get it heat wrapped anyway to prevent damage to any other parts?

   it shouldn't melt the plastic enclosure as they don't touch.
   
   Underbonnet heat is bad though so heat wrapping the manifold can certainly be a good idea

   whats the position like for the intake as it looks minimal as the slam pannel there. is there a hole or place specified for the induction kit?

   yeah dude there no probs with having these two mods heat wrap a good idea to have tho if you can afford the extra cost but it wouldnt melt the induction kit
