Also, one of the manufacturers, Raceware, claims up to 15 degree cooler engine temperatures with their 12-point aircraft nuts. How is this possible? If the nuts have no cooling fins on them how can they dissipate any more heat than stock nuts?

Mark,
964 and 993 engines use a different head nut that incorporates a "washer" into the design. Earlier engines used a separate washer, similar to the ones offered by the aftermarket head stud manufacturers.
I won't comment on Raceware's absurd claims about such a product reducing engine temperatures,...............
