Default What needs to be wrapped for header install?

As soon as the Hookers come in I will be putting them on. I want to have everything ready and need to know how much heat wrap tape to buy. What areas needs to be wrapped? I saw in a post a few down about the fuel lines being close so I'll wrap them, but what else. Also is the adhesive on the tape strong enough to hold in place under high heat or is some kinda tie strap required? Thanks in advance guys.

John

I bought a wrap kit for my starter, and 3 feet of heat shield tube. can find this stuff at summit/jeg's.

The fuel lines will be fine theres already a heat sheild there. Good luck <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
