Intercoolers: Paint vs Performance
Just in case anyone was interested in these results, mishimoto did a test with painted vs nonpainted intercoolers.

I know this discussion has come up before and I had not seen any hard data either way.

You gays are crayzay. It obviously spools sooner without paint. DUrrrhurr.
On a serious note, wish they tested it with a thermal dispersant coating. I'm confident that **** works, one of my friends that does R&D on LED light bulbs says its the difference between the whole assembly melting within 10 minutes of lighting it up on a test bench and being able to able to run constantly for 10 years. He really really loves it when china decides that they dont need the coating.
