Default Wrap it?

After reading through this thread, and great replies, I'm thinking about trying to cover and wrap my braided line setup from my fuel pump to my carb before scrapping it. Or, maybe just reroute the lines all together from the rear instead, which also seems like an excellent alternative.

A friend has the same setup that I have in his 390GT Mustang and was experiencing horrible fuel boiling. So, he actually took this stuff below and covered his lines with it. I've used it for my clutch hydraulic clutch lines too. Since it looked kind of ugly, he then wrapped it with that special black felt type electrical tape to make it look less noticeable. He says he does not have the boiling fuel problems any more. His engine bay gets as hot or worse than our Cobras and experiences the same hot start issues when it's just sitting in the sun on black pavement.
