I can see where you're going with the heatshield but I would expect adding the CF heat barrier between the IC and the engine would affect the cooling to the engine. The mesh on the back is the primary exit vent for the engine cooling airflow as air is taken in through the VRIS vents on the floor and the sidepods and out through the engine cover.

Fundamentally the IC is mounted in less than ideal position and airflow to the engine bay is not great to begin with.
