I've never installed a greddy kit, but I would just wrap everything possible if you think there is a possible heat issue. That is what I did on my TN kit, and I never had a problem.
Go overboard with the aluminum heat relfectant tape!!! I like the thermo-tec stuff the best.
Also, if you look on greddy's website, you can find the install instructions. In the instructions, they tell you wrap the starter, fuel line, and EVAC line. You don't want to melt those lines...
I think they also tell you to wrap the main wiring harness that runs up the side of the tranny.

I buy from summit. I also tried the similar stuff from heatshieldproducts.com, but I like the Thermo-Tec ThermoShield Ultra better. This stuff is for rejecting or protecting things from heat.
Lasting heat protection.
Thermo-Shield Ultra aluminized adhesive-backed tape is great for wrapping the hoses and wires you don't want to remove. It can also be wrapped around odd-shaped components for lasting heat protection. Wrap it around a fuel line and say goodbye to vapor lock. It reflects radiant heat up to 2,000 degrees F, and is twice as thick as the original Thermo-Shield.

https://my350z.com/forum/forced-induction/242964-heat-wrap-question.html <- on infor where not to wrap....
wrap all the cables for the o2 sensors and things liek that that would melt if they touch the piping... you wont wanna have a short/ground somewhere and then have to find out "where its coming from " from a melted cable.
