Thanks again,

You're welcome Kevin. The plastic boxes don't seem to transfer heat as bad as the metal ones, but metal is usually easier to work with. Insulating the box with something will help. Any type of heat shield on the exhaust is also beneficial. Some of the aftermarket enclosures use fresh air and underhood air, but the most effective seem to isolate the box from underhood air and draw only fresh air. Just make sure the inlet and air path is large enough and unrestricted to support your airflow and horsepower.

Good luck and post up your results.
