You are joking right? Black absorbs more sunlight, that is the only reason it is hotter than any other color. So unless he has a clear top hood, or drives around without a hood..then no.

:nonono:

..I wasn't kidding..Looks awesome..I just wondered about Black holding heat longer...

I have heard the same thing before...like THIS :shrug:

They basically said that it does nothing. The whole article was redundant. Here is a quote from the last paragraph.

"Painting engines black is more effective as a sales tool than it is at cooling an engine."

Thanks.

So how did the install of the blower go? Did it go smoothly, any problems you came across?

No problems everything went smoothly took my buddy roughly 2.5 hours both ways.

LOL on the new port...my blower was ported the day before the 2006 port started....what luck huh!!!!! I like my semi-gloss with my JLT kit, flat would have looked weird next to my shiny JLT.

A ported eaton looks like a stock eaton, right?

Yea on the outside, when they port they just mess with the internals and the bottom side of the blower. If you saw two side by side on a car you would have no way of knowing. Sleeper style... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
