Kas, don't forget those exhuast ports which are right near the intake ports. I
bet you would see HUGE gains there as well.

Subject: Re: Intake manifold ... ceramic coatings
I would like to affirm that this hair brained scheme will do absolutely
nothing to improve the performance of my competitors and I encourage all
Vintage
racers to avoid this Voodoo science. Having applied the same to my
manifolds
I want all of you guys to save your money and not do the things I do. Any
perceived horsepower gains were clearly from something else and I say don't
do
it.
And ignore the man behind the curtain!
Tongue in cheek, Steve
After reading some articles on thermal management, especially in regards to
ceramic coatings, I couldn't help but notice the V8 guys are making quite a
few more ponies when coating the bottom of the intake runners and the
valley
plate. Obviously they're keeping heat out of the intake runners making for
a
denser and much cooler charge. A quick look at a Triumph's set up and I
can't
help but think coating at least the bottom of the half of the intake
manifold
would make for even better results being that the exhuast manifold is right
there. I know some of you run heat sheilds that go up along the bottom side
of the intake manifold, but I would think ceramic coating would work
better,
and also save weight. Anyone care to share there thoughts on this?
