Header wrap solely keeps heat from the engine bay. The colder the intake air is, the more power you get. Also, by keeping the block cooler, you eliminate the metal expansion due to heat, which will keep closer tolerances, giving you better compression and sealing.
Header wrap will work on anything you put on it. Just don't confuse eliminating heat with keeping in heat. The heat goes somewhere, so make sure that whatever the wrap is on can deal with the absorbed heat constantly. (That is the main reason I will never wrap my turbo. The heat will stay in the turbo/wrap, and coke oil faster.)
