Of course he could be covering the intake so you think that's where the secret is. It could be, as Kirk Wilmes noted, that their secrets are in the collectors, but if they threw a towel over that you'd know they had something there.

Anyone remember when Glidden went barrel rolling down the track years ago and as soon as they got him out of the car, he immediately took his fire jacket and covered his engine with it. I guess if I spent countless hours and dollars finding one or two horsepower, I would be the same way too.
