Cold fuel makes power over warm fuel. Superbike teams cool the fuel on the racebikes for two reasons; 1. it makes more power (denser molecules and denser/cooler air mean more air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber), and 2. cooler fuel take up less space and you can get more fuel in the same tank than when using warm fuel.
So I'd say cool air and cool fuel are the best combination, but for the sake of this conversation cool air is the only variable.
Dark paint will not keep in heat to any measurable degree if at all.
Oh, and Gary, engine looks gorgeous! Nicely done!
