Default Who makes compact spark plug boot ends

Tired of spending 100 bucks each time I burn up a set of MSD wires on my forward facing headers (turbo setup)

The MSD 90* boot end (using a 96 LT1 plug wire kit/relocated coilpacks)
keeps melting on the headers or they pretty much make the wire rest on the header and it starts arching. (Yes, exhaust is fully wrapped)

Does anyone know who makes a CUSTOM put it together yourself kit? the leads have to be long as F@#$ because of the relocated coil packs

And.. I need 90* boots for the plug ends. prefferably smaller than the MSD ones with the raised logo on them.

These are the ones I currently have (came on the LT1 kit)

I need something much more compact and that leaves it closer to the spark plug

If anyone could please help out I would really appreciate it. This ignition problem is the only thing stopping me from making test hits.
