    wrapping headers .PIA

    boy oh boy today i wrapped my headers and what i nightmare to do ,alredy installed on truck.i had to pull my d/s just to do drivers side.and it was a painfull process.ive got cuts all the way up and down my arms.anyone else try this nasty task like this?thought id share the sorrow.i wouldnt have done it if i wasnt reinstalling my new inj ,rails and most importantly supercharger.i dont want it geting too hot and causing my iats tooo crawl even higher when the warm weather hits. i think my headers were creating some serious heat under the hood.and the drivers side 1 is directly below my s/c and that cant be good .it was ,up ,down ,under the fender walls,1 handed tie strapiing them .i hated every min of it .just venting guys .lol:bsflag:

    Next time take the headers off, or wrap them before you put them on... I know how you feel.
