rad and coolant

[Dave Williams]

-> Course if you use the available ceramic coatings for piston crowns,
-> valves, ports and chambers, plus the manifolds, Dave Vizard claims
-> about a 10 % increase in power and economy plus it has the effect of
-> significantly cooling the intake charge and reducing the detonation -
-> to the point he claims its possible to run an 11 to 1 street engine
-> on 91 octane.

 I haven't run the car on a dyno so I don't have any power figures, but
I haven't noticed much in the Capri.  I have coated pistons, valves, and
combustion chambers.  On the other hand it happily sucks up 87 octane
fuel with no problem at all and >11:1 CR.  And the heater doesn't work
too good since I did the coatings...
