My plug wires are melting due to heat from my headers. I have my headers wrapped but there still melting. My MSD plug wires pretty much lay on the header tape. Are there any 90* plug wires that turn as soon as they come off the spark plugs? Also for some reason my plug wires are sparking on the headers through the header wrap. WTF can I do to solve all my problems?

Your headers shouldnt be getting that hot for one. Second dont let the plug wires lay on the wrap or they will melt espicaly if your headers are getting that hot. Try useing some zip ties and neatly tie them up so they dont lay on the header wrap.
