what about wrapping the headers with the thermal wraps they make? it usually voids the header warranty, but it would probably help

I've had a problem on a car that toasted the wires. I purchased some heat resistant spark plug boot cover things. They look like they're made of fiberglass and covers up the boots and a portion of the wire. Seems to work okay. I believe they were made by Moroso or Taylor.
