You're welcome, I've generally wrapped anything that makes a lot of heat, 
in order to keep the engine compartment cool, so the engine doesn't have to 
work so hard.  Heat is bad for the engine as we all know, and if your are 
idling for a while, such as in traffic, or at a starting line <G>, the heat 
comes out from underneath the floorboards and cooks the driver sunny side 
up.  I wouldn't recommend the tape from JC, I've used its before and its 
::okay::, but I've seen much better "stuff" at hi-perf shops here and 
there.
