Probably a great idea. And relatively easy to test.

Subject: Intake manifold ... ceramic coatings
After reading some articles on thermal managment, 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?
