Dr. Obnoxious was a big proponent of the thermal coating on i/c ---

"I measured about the same temp delta as keith (k-huevo) during data logging session. If you think it's about 1% increase in air density, that's about 1-2 HP at well under $100. I do it to every IC I've run (stock and GP). It's relatively cheap, can't hurt and can help."
Another thread where JumpingJackFlash had one coated:

Maybe even a thread about the RMW unit specifically somewhere?
But,
empirical evidence or testing seems to be lacking so it's one of those things that falls under subjective interpretation of usefulness.
I like the idea of it and do think such a coating may be beneficial.
I honestly did not do any testing, but it’s a part sold by RMW and I trust his products. I’m just returning the car back to mostly stock is the reason I’m selling it.
