stainless is much better than aluminum for heat rejection. Aluminum is a fantastic conductor of heat...much better than stainless. as such, aluminum holds on to heat alot longer too.

Don't worry about a stainless steel intake manifold.....worry about the function of it!

I think maybe you got it confused with another brand such as crawford or something, theres no info for a cosworth manifold besides the one pictured above.
