Default Is it worth it to insulate?

I'm about to tear apart my Vette (for the stereo install) and was wondering if it's worth it to insulate the entire car. I've noticed favorable reviews from members using CrazyCowboy's kit and the B-quiet stuff. I've invested a bunch in all of my car audio gear already and am wondering if it's worth another ~$250 to help reduce the sound. I will be Dynamating the speaker areas already, but are those aforementioned kits worth the money and time? I've seen a great deal of good advice on this forum so far so I wanted to check with you all before I make a decision. Thanks!

the doors is the main part which will really let you get the most our of your speakers... the rest will just kill road noise

i've noticed that deadening the entire car made the car just feel more 'solid' and i actually enjoy driving it a little more now.

yea it killed a little of the road noise. and definitly made all the squeeks and rattles go away. i think to kill road noise, the closed cell foam should be used. but i havent read up on it recently, so i cant remember
