DEI heat soak socks could cure your fuel issues

I'm always looking into new products and how they can maybe help issues on other rides , or maybe I just couldn't find the part for Cobalts , Ions , and HHR SS's, oh my!
These heat sink socks seem to be just the ticket for my turbo charged friends, check them out

DEI Introduces Jeep® Fuel Rail & Injector Cover Kit | Exhaust Header Wrap and Thermal Performance Products | Design Engineering, Inc.



Now I can read and do see this kit is for a Jeep but maybe there is a kit for the SS or this can be adapted or contact Design Engineering Inc for information from their tech guys
You'll notice a turbo blanket in their catalog,

I wonder if that will help get a few more ponies or even just help in the under hood heat department.
Combined with this for the cold air pipe

To keep the air that just cooled in the inter-cooler stays cool

104 looks no comments or opinions? Nobody, not anybody?

I'm remembering back in the day , I ran my fuel line in a cool of copper tubing thru an ice chest in the back seat area and the chest full of ice to cool the fuel during a 1/4 mile run, in my 74 Valiant with a 440 stuffed in it, I don't recall any big advantage but it did run better and a little faster maybe 3 or 4 tenths of a second.
So I'm thinking keeping the fuel injectors insulated would maybe yield some advantage , like longer life as the plastic is shielded from the heat

If the fuel rail is insulated then the fuel would be a little cooler and the engine could run more efficient
Anybody concur ?

I'll comment.

I'd like to see comparisons on something like this, but my gut says it won't make much of an impact. Why? Because passing through fuel injector nozzles creates a mist which already cools the fuel right before ignition. Especially on a DI engine like the SS, where the pressure is higher. I'm not closed-minded, but I think this would help older, more traditional fuel setups more.

That's what I'm thinking, this little shield might help heat deterioration but not cool the fuel which just traveled thru hot fuel lines
