Default Coated Intake?

is there any benefit to have your intake manifold ceramic coated on FI motors?

No. Coating things, like headers, is done to keep heat in. It does nothing to dissipate heat.

I woulkd have to think that if a victor JR is heat soaking and at a higher temperature than the intake air charge then a coating could insulate the intake charge from the warmer intake. It would take some actual temperature test to verify. Looks like very little bang for the buck because the temp differential would be very little
