Post My intake manifold is hot, is this normal?

My intake manifold is quite hot to the touch after the car has been running. I can only leave my hand on it for a second or two. Is this normal? What could it be a symptom of?

You mean you can actually touch it for a second or two? You must not be driving the car hard enough... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Perfectly normal.

Yeah, I measure about 140-160 degrees-F on mine all the time. At the dyno after about 4-5 full-throttle runs, it's up to 180-F and the intercooler's at about 160-F.
