Yeah I bet a cast aluminum intake could be pretty heavy. It is a great idea on a stock car for weight loss. Just not on the top of the performance list I guess. What really surprises me is that those plastic parts can withstand the heat. They must make those parts with some special plastic thats diff then what come to mind when I see a milk jug. I noticed today that the plastic crank case vent on my 6.4 is only about 2 inchs away from a turbo housing. I guess I figures it would get hot then get brittle but I guess not.

Plastic also flows better than cast metal, They just injection mold the sections, then plastic weld them together and you are G2G. Actually the end tanks of the 6.0 IC are plastic. But obviously like the results shown, not much works well with explosions. I thnk his license plate suited hime well.

I just love how he's just as worried about his carbon fiber hood and cold air intake as he is about his bigger problem. The motor.

Ford has been using plastic intakes on the 4.6 for years.

It sounded more like a nitrous fart than an explosion.

Im pretty sure that almost every intake on a ford vehicle is plastic nowadays. I know that my wifes 4.0l is, 3.0s are, 4.6s are in trucks and mustangs, 5.4s are, v10s are, and Im sure theres alot of 4 cylinders also. Im sure there arent many auto manufacturers that use aluminum intakes anymore actually.
