Copper conducts heat better than carbon. By design it warms and pulls hot air out of the airbox through the louvered side plates. I figure i get 1.3 hp improvement.

Damn. I only got 0.92 kW via my stood up (jilted?) performance plate mod. Clearly the copper looks spectacular AND delivers the performance improvement we've all been hunting. Do like the cover though. Pity it can't be unsee it now.

I have never liked the look of the plastic piece behind the case. You did a fabulous job here. Did you sand and paint or sand/prime and wrap? Thanks

Make taller ribs on the top to increase the heat sink, if that is what you are after.

I think that you now need to do a ‘Beast’ dedicated post, which consists of overall pics of that marvellous piece of art, alongside of seperate pictures of each modification and an explanation of how they came about… it is worthy 👑🏆🇩🇪
