The blanket will keep the engine clean, but the blanket itself will get dirty over time - which might be a chore if you need to remove it.

How hot the engine gets should be goverend by the t-stat, how hot everything within the insulation gets is down to testing! Things such as the TB, alternator, supercharger, exhaust manifold etc will be outside of the engine blanket.

Also consider installing a higher temp thermostat, if there is one that will fit your car.

For comfort, buy an add-on seat warmer that plugs into the lighter socket. They are inexpensive and they work well. It will keep your butt happy while waiting for the heater to produce heat.
