How hot (in degrees) does a D-series engine get?

I want my friend's dad to powder coat my valve cover, but he says the coat melts at 400 degrees. Is there a chance in hell my motor - ported z6 head/y8 block with about 11.5:1 compression - could hit that temp? I dont do any track racing (yet), but I plan on dragging my car now and then just to time it.
