Any one here ever tired it. Liked it, disliked?
BTW, have you considered a thermal barrier coating?
Neat. With that much of a reduction, and with your other upgrades, you might be able to convert the a/c into an ice maker! LOL!
I've used header wrap before, but wouldn't recommend it on a street vehicle. It does tend to collect moisture when splashed (you wouldn't think so, since it's so hot...) and can cause the heater primaries to rot out over time.
I mainly used it on strip cars, and it was done more to keep header temperatures up than to keep underhood temperatures down, thus preserving exhaust pulse speed and improving cylinder scavenging, and thereby increasing VE by a couple of percentage points. You look for every advantage you can get when there's a time factor...

What if you have plated headers? I have some chrome plated headers that will need to be wrapped.
