Kinda puts a kink in the shorts of the guys with a 160 deg stat If it were true, don't think the gains would even be calculable. Notice he used the word THEORY.

why waste paint on something you will never see unless it makes you feel better when your changing your oil to see a little more color under your car

I went yellow. I painted my first 350 yellow, and with the chrome accessories and black brackets/whatever, it was awesome! Yellow and black make a great contrast together.

Why don't you just paint it the color that you like the most? Our opinion really doesn't matter...it's your car.

I wonder if anyone has ever sent their block off to Jet-hot or somewhere and had it ceramic coated? That would look cool IMO.

Wow that would be kinda cool... Would cost a grip to keep sending that block back and forth though
