second skin firewall or adhesive backed heat shield?

[phishincruisin]

I'm trying to decide what product to use on my firewall to help keep the heat out of my cab and off the firewall. I had to really push the motor back into the firewall to get the transmission to sit how I'd like, and there is a little over and inch between the engine and firewall in some places.
I did some searching and found a couple things about heat shields, so I'm curious what peoples results have been with either the Second Skin Firewall product, or an adhesive backed heat shield, such as the Thermo-Tec 135xx heat shield. I like how you can brush on the Second Skin Firewall, and it seems as though its a little better value square foot wise then the Thermo-Tec. I just want some reviews on how the product works.
thanks!

I'm using the firewall product on my diesel conversion and it does alright but I think using it along with heat shielding would be better. It does knock down some heat but the floor boards still get pretty warm when I'm pulling a load up the hill. I also don't have any carpet inside so that would be another layer of absorption that would help.

My Build will have egg crate you see under the NEW 2008- euros ..

this mounts 10mm / 1/4" off of the fire wall with stands offs. this is the first sound heat I'm using.

I pull this from Bone yards euros.. They never sell this stuff , so is cheap or move to another bone yard.

When i get the Body donor up here , FJ /4.2 pulled (160k on clock) , then the special body protection and suspension before the Diesel install.
