Engine Painting
Can you paint a after market Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold engine color or does it have to be left natural for heat reasons. Thanks in advance.

Re: Engine Painting
painting it wont hurt the manifold itself, but it defeats the heat diffusing properties of the aluminum. Youll wind up loosing a few ponies because the heat that would have radiated away will now be transfered into your intake charge.
Dont take that to mean youre car will suddenly be a dog, im talking a few ponies, like MAYBE 3 or so. Not enough to regularly show on a dyno or anything.
