Best Intercooler for Stock Location?

By coating the fins you are insulating them - reduces their cooling efficiency. How much depends on many factors, but it is measurable.

NO. Sorry, because SCIENCE.

THIS IS WHY DEMOCRATS GET ELECTED. People believe this sh*t

Just for reference, this is what you said. Gonna set aside your incorrect postulation that the radiation properties are not a consideration IN A RADIATOR.

Stay in school and read some books.

OMG this guy Obviously did not read that damn book.

Look... The anodizing or coatings of intercoolers and radiators do not create measurable differences in effectiveness. Yes black absorbs more heat and yes there are coatings that aid in heat transfer across the intercooler and they're called thermal dispersants.

Arguing over the color of the intercooler is no more different than arguing over the difference in acceleration over a low-profile antenna or the OEM whip.

Unless some degenerate used something to obstruct airflow through the intercooler or ceramically coated the whole thing to insulate it.... It will be fine. Plus, the black or silver paint doesn't reach much into the core of the I/C when it is sprayed... Because it can't. The arrangement of fins between the bars keep it from getting through. Take a flashlight and peer into the core and you'll probably see bare aluminum where the paint didn't touch.

Unless you fellas have a mechanical engineering degree or can define the principles of thermodynamic heat transfer... I'd give it a rest.

I used to test heat exchangers for their thermodynamic heat transfer properties, so yeah...

No one is challenging your intellect or work experience. But you didn't disagree with anything else I said, which means you acknowledge this "discussion" of paint color is ridiculous.

I am in the “ it makes no difference camp.”

Well it is minor and dependent on many factors so it isn’t worth arguing over.
