    Heatshield Products Thoughts on 2019 and Hopes for 2020

    As 2019 enters its final hours, we find ourselves enjoying a cold libation and thinking back on what was a great year for Heatshield Products. Showing customers how to use our products in the right ways to solve heat issues, watching our Heatshield Products equipped racers run strong and take top honors, really getting things rolling on our ’66 Mustang and Ford F100 projects, we could write a whole blog about all the positives from 2019.

    I-M Shield simply attaches to the underside of the intake manifold via its specially formulated adhesive backing that can withstand temps to a sustained 300 degrees Fahrenheit. I-M Shield creates a thermal barrier between the intake manifold and the top of the engine, minimizing heat to the intake manifold. Even modern composite intakes are susceptible to heat soak, and the heat can raise the air temps inside the intake, costing horsepower and torque. By keeping intake air temps cooler, the computer is less prone to reducing ignition timing and/or increasing the air/fuel ratio, which decreases horsepower, torque and throttle response.

    On any modern electronic fuel injection engine, when air intake temperatures r
