Scattershield s are for the flexpalte converters and a blanket is usually used on tranny.

If you're going to go drag racing and like your legs and feet you might use one.

Really depends on what class (how fast you go) whether or not you're required to have one.

It's really not about your power level as stock converters can explode from heat, etc ...

If you're going to race the car, I would buy one.

I am going to put one in my corvette when I convert over from a six speed to an automatic.

Don't want to end up like Daddy Don Garlits and blow off half my foot
