Increased heat retention in the headers leads to increased exhaust gas velocities. These increased velocities should improve scavenging of the the combustion chamber helping to pull out the exhaust gases and pack more intake mixture into the chamber, leading to increased cylinder pressures and therefore more power.

The lowered under hood temperatures should lead to lower temperature of the fuel mixture charge with more oxygen in the inducted air and therefore more power.

The smoother interior of the headers should make the exhaust gases flow easier out of the engine requiring less "pumping work" which is parasytic loss from the power that the engine produces.

These are all the theoretical reasons why the Jet Hot coating should increase power from the engine. I just wondered if anyone had actually observed these theoreically possible increases in power after the Jet Hot coating process.
