I got a new intake Manifold a few questions...

[nathan.hall1]

I just got a Edlebrock 2181 I was going to get a new intake manifold gaskets, do I need that valley pan heat shield they sell with some gasket kits?

You don't "Need" one, but it wouldn't hurt. The idea with the heat shield is that you're trying to keep heat away from the intake runners to keep the air cool. So, you may get a little added performance from it, but nothing that you're really going to notice.

I wouldn't.... And, actually, you'll need the extra heat in the winter in Kittitas Valley...
