Plasma coating may provide a better thermal barrier (minimally more expensive) and is definitely better at staying attached to the subject metals. I used it on my exhaust (stainless steel) after the jet black coating began to flake off. I'm not sure if it can be used on aluminum.
Thanks for the update Rich, looking forward to the new toys. What kind of MAF did you use? I had some problems with low RPM tuning of the SCT MAF.
