960 polished aluminum head today S90-V90

As I'm fast approaching 200K, thought i'd make the car look better than it ever did before. I started cleaning the intake manifold with my dremel and ended up polishing the whole head and manifold heat sheild. Wet sanding with 2000 grit finally made it shine like chrome.

      How is that cone filter working out? Looks like it would take in a lot of hot air? Any more power? nm S90-V90

        Took me a while to clean it over a few months actually and now its just easy stuff. I built a heat shealed , it raps around the top of fender and on the side by the radiator. Once the hood shuts, it forms a box. As far as power there's hardly any differance.
