Looks awesome. I guess I've found something to do while I wait to find a new trans. How long did it take you?

Ive been thinking of doing the same thing to my performer intake. What kinda paint did you use on it? Looks good!

baine21225 · February 20th, 2008, 10:43 PM

just paint the whole 5.0 plate and scuff the top with light sandpaper and all the raised stuff will be silver

terribleonexx88 · February 20th, 2008, 11:06 PM

i used high temp engine paint. put it on a cardboard box and did it on the side walk outside my work on my lunch break lol

well aluminum is a poress material thats why its disapated in the first place so painting it fills the pores and doesnt make it disapate heat as well but painted aluminum is a hell of alot better than cast iron.

stone84 · February 21st, 2008, 12:37 PM

Yeah, I meant paint it.

coreyschmidt_M · February 21st, 2008, 12:49 PM

yeah the cast iron would be way worse than painted aluminum

Speedstang302 · February 21st, 2008, 08:40 PM

Actually painted metal dissipates heat better than unpainted metal. Physics 101.
