In a word, correct. A black case would run cool, too, since it's "pulling"
heat from the metal and "pushing" it into the air stream. White wouldn't be
"pulling" and "pushing" as well.

On a stock engine it's not necessary. My engine has them...and the chrome
is bead blasted off to a nice, dull finish :)

Yeah, faith can be unreliable. What about just believing the pure physics
part? ;) It's what those Cýð!mngineers were doing...
