Default starter wrap?

I bought a starter heat wrap at a swap meet for a buck. was going to put it on my mini starter, but am now wondering...if it might hold more heat in than absorb? have one pipe which runs fairly close.
thoughts?
thanks Rod in AZ

Wrap the header not the starter.

If you have one of those heat reader guns you can fire the car and read the temp off the starter. Then you would know what you are dealing with.
