The thermal dispersant coatings are said to increase heat transfer, but I have no idea if it is in any way noticeable outside of a lab. I just did it so the intercooler would be black.

I hadn't heard of thermal dispersant coatings. Neat stuff. If one can handle the cost, they look like the best option available. If you're going that far, might as well ceramic-coat the exhaust manifolds too.

I had GTM do it. I had them CC the hot parts as well. Money well spent on a car that runs this hot. Cost wasn't too bad on either.
