Few things ....

As far as not publishing numbers, i can respect waiting until the end to publish the final data. However i will continue to give you **** about it because i like to learn the tech side of things, and that comes more from trial and failure, not just seeing the final results.

The "ugly bracket" .... i would say make it match the mounting bracket that is used to stabilize the SC mounting plate. That way it looks more like a kit.

As far as intake manifold coating ... why would anyone want to cover up the aluminum? if you are modifying your car with a supercharger, you want more power right? why close up the pores in the aluminum and reduce the surface area losing possible cooling potential?

I think whether raw or wrinkle finish it won't make much difference on heat soak. As far as air temp the intercooler is inside the manifold and right before the air enters the heads. I think maybe the only thing that would help with heat soak would be something like a ceramic coating.
