I have Jethot LTs and I have nothing protecting my wires from getting burned. I just got underneath the car and ziptied a few that were close to the headers a little farther away. Around 10,000 miles later and no burnt wires! Oh, they are origionals with 75,000 miles on em too.

Cool

Nope. Wires routed stock. Have thermal wrap on heater hose going into firewall and tied it back with stainless steel tie. Only thing done for heat.

I have the Edelbrock headers and I'm using Fyrebraid insulation on the wires. You can get it in 10' lengths from Jeg's for about $15.

Jet-Hot LTs and nothing protecting the wires. No problems. Only heat protection I have is a DEI heat sheild on my starter.
