transdamit talkt o noyzee he has his painted with some high temp paint and it looks sweet. i am looking into street and performances polished ls6 intake. they use a special process and actually polish or chrome the plastic one, so it isnt like the ligenfelter/holley one witch is alumninm (sp?) and that holds heat.

the only thing i was thinking is that even when the engine has been running for a long time the intake doesnt feel any hotter than when the car is out in the sun all day

The best bet is to do what i did and find a new or near new 98 LS1 water pump.. that way the pulley comes off (4 bolts).. then chrome the pulley and polish the pump.. for a finishing touch have the t-stat housing chromed.. You can see the results here:
Or get a chromed/polished Meziere elec. pump
