I baffled my first one and then never again. I did not see much difference in baffles or not.

Yes I did baffle my engine intakes. Here in S. Fla the heat can get very high. I've known people who have burned thier engines up cause they did not think they needed to. All the competition guys down here do it too.

Don't have a pic but I placed two B&B 32 oz tanks one on top of the other in the same area Adrian has his tanks mounted side by side....

My Sullivan smoke pump is mounted in the engine box.
