Thermo Barrier coatings

Dave, I've back to backed my manifold and found the gain to be about .03-.04 in the coating , when hot lapping the car the manifold stays cooler without icing ......Like Jeff, I had a lot of other legal parts coated before,but had never done the intake. ....If you are near the eastern PA area , a good friend of mine opperates Saluta Performance Coatings here in Allentown. .......I've sent you his #'s in a PM . .....Tom

I'm not sure MACH will give a competitive price on doing one or just a few parts. They are entirely in house on everything except cryogenics and nitriding which is available in town. I think they are involved in coating more for their customer base, something to keep them on top of their competitors more than anything.
What I really wanted you to look at was the r/c airplane engine coatings. It may be a little different but we're still talking about air / fuel, hot / cold engines. What I would like to see is an air-cooled engine like a Porche race engine receiving all the treatments.
