There is a temperature point which the engine will run optimal, but heat does not create power, the thermostat controls the heat.
So, Brian, if heat creates HP, why should I put a cold air intake on my car? To get cooler air into the engine? Cooler air gives me more HP right?
The cover on the headers is a heat shield to protect the rest of the engine, not keep the heat in the engine......

He was trying to tell you that if you keep the heat in the exhaust gasses, you get better scavenging, and flow through the exhaust, leading to a slight vacuum which sucks air/fuel mix through the cylinders, increasing power. Also, keeping the heat in the exhaust gasses keeps the engine bay, and thus the engine cooler, resulting in a better running engine.
