I will be running a blanket.

To clarify I'm going crazy on heat management. My Summit Racing order for header wrap, tubro blanket, inferno heat shield, thermo-tec, etc. was $600 on it's own. I've just heard way to many 'I popped my motor' horror stories from a melted WG hose or similar. I'm wrapping all piping until past the tranny, the turbo, all wires, all hoses and using the inferno on any items within line of site of the hot piping to do the best I can to prevent a heat related failure. I'm doing none of the above because I think it will help any in performance.
