Wondering what the difference is between the DuraCast and DuraFortress - they show what appears to be an aluminum intake under the DuraCast pictures, but talk about as an application suited for cast iron. I would think heads and intakes would be treated with the DuraCast unless they were polished.

Sounds expensive no matter which treatment I go with. My guess would be that I could probably buy another RPM Air Gap for the price of coating the heads and intake. Am I in the ball park?

You could always call and find out pricing, as an example a 10-71 blower was $80 ..
and as most things in life you get what you pay for... if the stuff holds up as advertised its worth every penny imop.

Every year..... Pull them off... check them out. Change the oil. Take a look at your intercoolers while you are at it. Crack a beer. Or pop in a porno in someones case. Not mine.lol. hit them with some mothers and put them back on. If your blowers are getting dirty or corroded you are not giving them enough attention

If you are going for a solid or basic color. Go Imron if you can get it. ( Kenworth paint ) If you are doing an elaborate color or you need to buff it ( exterior) go with a base color then clear set up. You are best off with a catalized color coat. ( Fountain, Outerlimits paint etc. ) Juzz cause I know and have 30 years in the paint buiness.
