first and foremost, I vote AGAINST red. Its like pretending to be an LT4 intake then. I voted other for the poll. I say make it the same color as the block whatever that might be.

Why don't you sell it as a custom color intake? Let the buyer choose the color. Might try ebay. I painted mine black and it doesn't get any hotter than the stock intake. I think the actual thickness of the powder coat will affect temps more than the color since it's pretty thick.

Then I'd say regular red since that seems to be the most popular color.

Yep and someone does that on E-bay. Options are good when selling something.

some sort of blue would look great, with polished fuel rails and the stripes on the top.

Eh, Just my opinion again but, there's gotta be something else that matches whatever color your doing it. I mean, it the block was blue or the paint on the car was blue that would look okay. But, it being the ONLY blue thing on the car, would be a little (IMO)
