Thanks guys 
We won't see it in the car for a while but as I said next week it goes for tuning on the engine dyno. Before the engine ever gets to the car it will be fully tuned and broken in and then torn apart, inspected and put back together.
The wife is even talking about me flying out for the final tuning.

No it's not. Jet-Hot has more than one coating.

The test results shown are based on the performance of STERLING SILVER. Some of our other coatings formulated for aerospace, marine and higher temperature applications exceeding 1,300°F may have different characteristics. Please check with a Technical Representative for additional information.
The graph shown to the left, developed independently by a major US automobile manufacturer, shows just how effectively STERLING beats heat. The company's engineering team was astounded by temperature reductions exceeding 300°F when STERLING was applied to standard exhaust components. Car Craft also took a cool breath, after measuring temperature reductions of over 60% on header surfaces following the application of JET-HOT.
Because of its low emissivity and insulating effect, STERLING creates a thermal barrier to protect headers - inside and out - while reducing heat transfer into the engine compartment. But the good news goes beyond protecting headers from thermal fatigue. Plugs, wires, fan motors, water pumps and other heat-sensitive parts get a break, too, in a cooler environment. Plus, power normally increases and safety for racers improves with lower temperatures.
Horsepower gains depend on many variables, including engine size, type and setup; cooling system performance; ambient temperatures; and other factors. Nevertheless, STERLING will normally boost power when applied to headers for two reasons. First, the coating promotes denser, more potent fuel/air charges by insulating the engine bay from exhaust heat. At the same time, it accelerates the pulsed-vacuum effect on tuned headers, resulting in more effective scavenging of cylinders. The increased velocity of exhaust gases produced by higher exit inertia not only clears each cylinder more quickly; it also draws in the next fuel/air charge more efficiently.

That is indeed a lot of wires.

The first time they fire it up it will be on the engine dyno at Beatty&Woods Ltd and I doubt I will even be there myself 
.
Now when it is fired up in the car for the first time, that could be a different story.

I am going to see if we can pinpoint a definite time for the engine as I too want to be there.

being far too lazy to read through 145+ pages of this thread, I will ask the question that im sure has been asked before.
How much is this going to cost you? first born child? your soul?
