I agree Kevin-- beautiful job....

As much as I love the look, I was afraid of the maintenance necessary to keep 
it looking so nice.

I spent $160 for a ceramic thermal coating applied by Finishline Coatings/RM 
Engineering.  The intake manifold was coated in two steps- the bottom side 
with a thermal barrier, then overcoated in thermal dispersant. The valve 
cover was bottom coated with thermal barrier/oil shedding coating, with a 
heat dispersant coating on top.  

Good for at least .02hp....
