sheet metal intake
(OP)
would appreciate any opinions on this
do most of the power gains from runnig a sheet metel intake come from better distribution or faster charge cool down

RE: sheet metal intake
How will the charge be cooled faster?
Why will it have better distribution?
Power increase will depend on how well it is designed and made and how this influences total airflow and airflow distribution and fuel distribution if the fuel is introduced before the runners separate into individual passage ways.

RE: sheet metal intake
intake and exhaust material and construction have a lot to do with heat absorbtion and disipation rates.
question was if power gains are from charge temps or mixture distribution.maybe unrelated but i did a lot of work in the 70s and 80s on carb iceing concerns. most corps. did not want to address the problem as they were working on the fuel injection thing. GM did partially adressed the issue by going to the alloy intake. apoligize to patprimer if i offended him in some way, it was not my intent.
RE: sheet metal intake
At WOT there will be a small, probably insignificant heat transfer from the manifold to the charge.
Any temperature increase in the air will decrease power.
Temperature transfer will be dependant on many things like material, surface area to volume ratio, sources of heat to the manifold weight of the manifold. None of these are exclusive to sheet metal fabricated manifolds.
It really does depend on the design and what you are comparing it to.
I was not offended, but from your OP and first response, I did wonder if you were wasting our time, and what level of answer you might understand, or even if you had any business participating in this forum.
