Default Header wrap

Would it be worth my time to wrap the headers? What would be the pros and cons of doing so? My car is a nitrous car with a healthy shot.

I wrapped mine just because if you are spraying a "healthy" shot you can reach right in there to get the plugs out. I run my fan and waterpump while waiting for my tow vehicle to pick me up and once i get back to the pit I have at it without the fear of being burned.

I did it once it made changing plugs a bit easier you would hurt but not burn
Get the good wrap and use stainless clamps
Don't leak any oil on it or POOF get the fire extinguisher ready.
