AZ Interest in intake manifold thermal blankets?

We are looking at producing lower intake manifold thermal blankets in the near future for the Rx-8s. I am just curious to see the interest in a product like this. Its of a greater benefit to the turbo guys obviously, but I believe the n/a guys who either run headers or are doing any type of sanctioned racing could benefit as well. I have attached a few photos of the Rx-7 units we produce. We are also going to make an ECU cover & an under hood heat shield with some sort of rotary emblem. So lets here what you guys have to say.

How would it mount? Since most would not want to pull the motor to get it on the LIM

Probably just the velcro straps, the only thing that would need to be removed would be the UIM.

I'm interested for sure. Maybe for turbo guys you could offer a turbo blanket and this as a combo.

I am very interested as my engine is out of my car and on the final assembly... so im fine with either the sleeve or Velcro option whichever is cheaper.

Added to my parts list! It is at the bottom though, so maybe end of the month or mid month you should have a payment.
