Exhaust manifold wraps
To assist in protecting my distributor from the heat of the adjacent exhaust manifold, I am considering insulating tape wrap or perhaps high temp thermal paint for the exhaust pipes. But some of these products claim HP gains due to hotter exhaust gasses that therefore exit faster and create better scavenging effects. I'm skeptical. Looking for responses on the heat reduction claims as well as the HP claims. If the heat-reductions are real, this seems like a good mod to pair with grill blocks.
