Header Heat Issues - Hints Please

I'm having a Dynamaxx Header system installed as DTE in a few weeks and want to make sure it's done properly. I've read a lot of threads talking about heat issues with wiring. I went ahead and bought a set of Kool Sox for the spark plug wires. Any other protective steps I should take?

Have the headers ceramic coated.

headers

Get a starter blanket from Summit. Much easier to put on with old manifolds off and before headers go on.

Yeah. That's the same thing as ceramic coating.

I'm Jet Hot coating our LG's, using Kool Sox, installing ceramic coated DTE tunnel brace (drilling it and running O2 wires above it) and wrapping anything close to the headers with a Heat-Reflecting tape (http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...id=656&pcid=54)

Hopefully I've got all the bases covered.
