i take several layers of heavy tinfoil and fold it up right nice and wrap it around the starter and tie it with fine mechanics wire if done with a little thought it looks good and works real good . as said timing plays a big part also .
I just got a Jegs email today.
Starter Heat Insulator... $17.99.
Cheap enough.
I'm thinking about one for each car.
Not much room between starter and header.
