Painted case raises temp? Ok I know aluminum dissipates heat well. But how much of a difference in fluid temp will there be between a bare case and a painted case? Enough for me to be concerned? It has a good cooler but I was kinda called out on another site for having a painted case and how it'll run hotter. Discuss...

The difference if any would be minimal and with the hot exhaust around who knows might be more. The case is tucked tight under the car little air flow and exhaust heat all around. If anything putting some insulation between the headers and trans would likley do more to keep things cool.

That's what I've been thinking but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Ever since I proved him wrong on some transmission questions another user posted, I think he's been looking for things to 1up me.
