Hey Guys, looking for the latest info/opinions on the foil backed insulation products. I am going to lay down a layer of NuPrene and want to know what the latest wisdom is on the heat protection products, there seems to be a new one out there every other month or so.
I see a problem with reflectix, its like a bubblewrap and will wear out under the pedals pretty fast, no?
So, whats the word?
B B B B BBBBBBBB Bird is the word.....look for the crazy ostrich, the one with the smile.....
seriously, I dunno, I went with padding from a factory Van, that tar paper crap with jute under it in the rear....didn't fine enough for the front....I used a combo of stuff under there, but nothing seems to help much...best I found is foil back fiberglass insulation....
I hear the factory trick of one and even two pieces of aluminum heat shield plates on the floor board bottoms, underneath, is the best most effective for header/pipe heat....makes sense, and I have a aluminum plate I cut and shaped into position over my a/c cowling to protect from headers heat....
now with the top of the hood cut out, under the BB hood scoop, and open vented to the rear, I find the other day, floorboard heat is much less....course now that it's finally hot, I have the Spal Fans put to the test, and they are great, BUT they blow towards the ground, not straight back, so I dunno just how much they cool against header heat....sitting in traffic....
I find blocking the outside air trap door under the pass fender, totally glued shut, and removing the inner door entirely....helps with interior temps a LOT, also just redoing the blower electricals on ground side and + 12 side putting a full voltage across that motor helped the a/c a goodly amount, then I went to a C4 blower assy for that winter storm affect.....
haaaaa....makes me feel at home.....
