Yeah I did. I used some heat shield fabric and cut into a long strip and wrapped it around the problem area. On the drivers side you can tuck the wires behind the heat shield, on the passenger side you just need to zip tie **** out of the way.

you need to zip tie them or like paul said heat shield them, otherwise they will touch the block or headers...along with your starter wire...

I zip tied the passenger side to the group of wires that run to the starter and it sufficiently holds them out of the way.
