below the intake?

I remember reading that the intake mani is cool to the touch with the spacers, so then if so, what would be the point of the coating?
There wouldnt be that much heat radiating off anyways right?


Also I know many people polish the intake ..but I was wondering, is there an advantage to the rough inside, isnt it on purpose to sort of tumble the air so it mixes better with the fuel?

leave the inside alone

rough-ish inside has nothing to do with air tumble to mix with fuel. A "well performed" polish may provided some minor air flow gains. A poorly done one will do the opposite

just my .02

maybe Ill just spray paint it with high temp paint so its a nice black.

i think they work. maybe only a tiny amount, but it helps.

I would coat everything under the hood that touched air if i didn't have to pay for it

its just spray on with spray gun, and cure in an oven. cant be too hard to apply. apparently a lot of shops just use this and rebrand it.

im gonna leave important stuff like pistons and valves and combustion chamber to the pros ... and do exhaust mani, dp, anything easy

that sounds good. Thanks for sharing the site.

interesting

Schnell!

If the coating didn't disrupt the airflow through the IC too much, seems like there would be some benefit to coating at least the end tanks.
