My engine will need a rebuild at some point in the coming years. When I do that, I plan on doing several things.
Friction reducing coatings from Swain tech to reduce frictional losses.
Oil shedding coatings on things like the rods and rockers.
Real 3mil thick ceramic coatings on the piston tops, combustion chambers, valve faces, and exhaust ports. Real 15mil thick ceramic coatings on the header, pipes leading up to the cat, and the entire rest of the exhaust. All from swain tech. They will probably then get wrapped in header wrap, and sealed completely.
Whether or not the increased flow thing makes a difference, i'll be giving it the best chance to work. On top of that, the coolant temp reductions and engine compartment temp reductions are proven, which will allow a smaller radiator and less grill area. Plus, header wrap will also slightly quiet the exhaust note even further.
