That's interesting about the ice. And it sold for 500 smackers! Whew!
The first one of these intakes I saw was in Denver years ago. I asked the guy about it because I had never seen a Thickstun intake, and that's what he told me. As he explained it, it sure made sense. and he was old at the time, so i assumed he had some sort of first hand experience.
Anyhow, it was a cool bench racing session that afternoon about that intake.
