Heat shield under intake
I'm a little surprised this hasn't been brought up yet after Super Chevy ran the article. Has anyone tried using any heat shielding underneath truck intakes? I'll give this a whirl in a few months. I'll try heat shielding material or mobile home roof repair (basically dynamat except 1/10th the price). Figure it can't hurt. They got 17hp from some heat shielding on an LS6.

It may help for low profile intakes that sit almost on the valley cover. Truck intakes are high profile if I am not mistaken with tall runners. I run a ls3 intake on my setup and was going to put some under it next time i have the intake off, I believe its like a quarter inch gap between it and the valley cover. But like the previous response it never hurts anything!

Yeah, good call on the tall *** intake. For those who've never had their intakes off, consider there's foam on the front and back to keep dirt out (I imagine) and that probably keeps heat in. I'll try it when I get back and see what the intake temps read on HPT.
