Intake Manifold Coatings

Just wondering if anyone has any results on using a thermal barrier coating inside the runners of an intake manifold? It would seem to me that this would be a good way to keep the incomming air cooler and of course more horsepower.

I would be doing this on a fuel injected motor if it is worth the effort. I have read of a 1% power increase for every 10 degrees you can cool the incomming air. So if you can keep the air 20 degrees cooler that would be 10 horsepower on a 500HP motor.
