I have kooks stainless LT's with a pro charger and don't have them wrapped, not to much more heat under the hood. But if you are going to wrap them i would do them out of the car.

Ya my procharger is mounted to the alternator. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with wrapping them, just another set up.

ok, i just figured with heat rising and there not being as much airflow on the top side things might be different. thanks
