Hey USMC302, what do you mean by PMS

"I had the exact same problem and when I got my PMS, I took a ton of fuel out for the warm starts and it starts everytime now. "

vinny, the pms is a tuning device for the car's ecu, you can add or subtract fuel, timing, ect.. and at different points in the powerband.
A wonderful tool, too bad I dont have one

well i today we pulled a plug when the car wouldnt start and it was dry. I dont no now if it isnt getting fuel, but the release valve on the fuel line sprays fuel out when you push it. I'm starting to go with my the starter is getting heat soaked and i was going to try and jump it, roll and it put it in gear but no one was around to help us push. I dont no if i mention it before, but if you spray some ether in the air filter it will fire when the problem occurs.

Assuming it has a 91 starter? like mine, it's big and unreliable, might consider getting the smaller lighter 93+ starter (more cranking torque), you just have to run an extra wire to make it work, run a search if your intrested.

For this hea soak problem with these long tube headers, would putting header wrap around the header by the starter do the trick or just possibly help?

Don't use the header wrap. The mini-high torque starters will be fine, I run one as well with my longtubes, no problems.

I bought a heat shield for my starter, ugly but works.
