HPC coating/Real World Test

[chuck will]

Here is Cory's email at HPC, might be worth your time to talk to him as
he is a very information filled person concerning the varioius coatings
and the heat reduction from the engin compartment. I have only traveled
about 500 miles with the new engine, and all the other things that were
applied during building by Tom Green and Mondello. The Thornly Headers
with the HPC coatings were taken out and with the engine compartment
cover off, Tom adjusted all the carburation going up and down the
Central Coast terrain. The headers did glow at a 5% grade, did not
loose any speed under cruise and pulled the grade fine. The headers
with the coatings cooled to hand touch within five minutes of turning
the enfgine off. Chuck, 78 Eleganza, Lompoc, Centeral Coast Ca

NO doubt they were cool to the touch after a few minutes and I am surely not
voicing anything negative about either the Jethot or HPC coatings. They are
both of fine quality, but if you read the things that I posted you will see
that their primary purpose is to reduce corrosion (and that is in their
sales literature on their web site), not reduce heat transfer to the engine
compartment.My aim is to reduce the engine compartment heat as much as
possible. corrosion is a secondary benefit and the swain coating does that
also.
If you want nice looking corrosion resistant headers buy the jethot of HPC
applications.
If you want the maximum reduction of heat into the engine compartment buy
the Swain coatings.

Just my opinion after reading all of the propoganda for them all.
