Fixed!!!!!
Just back from the test drive.
10 oz marine epoxy with 404 matrix.
Rattle be gone !
Another note. The chamber was blue taped to avoid damage to it's finish. I did notice When pulling the tape that micro tiny bits of my wet epoxy worked it's way through the weave !!!!
NOT GOOD. Fixed now as I coated the entire piece, but others may be sucking dirt.
I've got mine perfect now and happy and content. It was a little struggle, but I'd never buy one new.

When I datalog my IAT's using my FlashPro, the numbers aren't impressive, but I suspect that the sensor might be reading high. Basically, the temperature tends to read about 10 degrees F higher than what is displayed on my gauge cluster. One day I'll try to do a better test. using a separate termometer.

Ya I've been thinking that now as well, considering I have a spot that is aboutas big as much thumb with no resin on it at all, which is sitting right infront of the rad.
After a few laps around my local track, the intake is so hot I can't even touch it. I haven't had a chance to datalog anything while lapping yet, hopefully this friday.
I want to get some more heat shield and do some more critical parts, and see how much of a difference it will make.
I'm also thinking about doing the resin now as well.
OR I just get rid of this altogether, and supercharge the shit out of it.

Something else that occurred to me is that the lack of rigidity in the power chamber might reduce the benefits from resonance. There might actually be a power benefit from reinforcing the chamber. S2KNFR, did you notice any difference in the power band?

S2KNFR,
Why did you use the 205 hardener (fast hardener) instead of the 209 (extra slow hardener)? Do you not think the fast hardener will be as strong as the extra slow hardener? I don't know anything about this stuff, so I'm not sure if I want to risk doing something like this myself. Did you consider adding a layer of fiberglass to the inside as well?
