yes ceramic coating would help alot but its not cheap to do, and these guys are usally on a tight budget...
usally i reccomend getting a $30.00 header blanket and installing between the intake and exhaust

its way less of an issue , as well as the sidedraft carbs make more power.. also the long wraparound manifold increases the torque band alot too

Nice, thanks for the info Robert.

FWIW the JetHot 2000 ceramic coating on my header cost $ 300 w/shipping. Not cheap but...well.. worth it. Not in everyone's budget though.
