WRONG!! It doesn't add 50 HP!!

Its 39 HP :)

I wonder if certain paints would hold heat in? I have heard of such a problem on non-auto related areas.

So, what if I paint em red and add those stick-on fender vents, is that enough to add 50hp? :hmm: lol.
What's the main difference between engine paint and caliper paint? Is there any advantages to either one?

Use engine enamel spray paint. Done hundreds of sets

+1 you can even get a spray can of custom mixed engine enamel to match your paint code. Might look trick with matching brakes.

Here is an example of what I did to a set I'm building for my ride.

engine paint shaves .10 off your 0-60 time...brake caliper paint knocks 10 feet off your 60-0 distance.
