that neck down is basically a restrictor, i doubt the cold air is worth it
Back on topic, I think hi temp engine enamel or brake paint will be your best bet. I personally would not risk warpage from any baked on finish. You have too much invested in that intake manifold.
Looks amazing btw

I say you have it polished... that wont warp anything and it will look AWESOME. I just had my intake welded/ported/polished and it looks great!

very nice!
i never meant to say you had a bad setup or that you couldnt make good power with it all im saying is it looks like you have room to do an intake without a neck down (which is an obvious restriction) why not do it? I think anodizing is a good option if your worried about warping and i think it looks better and its certainly more durable... but 400*F shouldn't warp anything as long as the heat it and cool it fairly slowly
Not exactly a S2K, but on my turbo mr2 that I used to own, I powder coated a all aluminum aftermarket intake manifold (sheet metal) and had no problems with leaks out of the injector, or anything like that. I did it myself, in a oven right at 400
