burning plug wires!!!!
burning plug wires!!!! ok so i need help bad... I've had the headers on the car for about 4 months now and i have had to replace 4 plug wires. what are you guys doing to make it work and keep it dependable? i have heat shields on two plugs. thanks in advance!
Well if you can't zip tie them out of the way your best bet would be to run the "over the top valve cover" style. A lot of guys do this because of your exact issue and because it looks nice!

the hooker LT's are obviously different from the pacesetters i run but i run the wires on the drivers side in the factory location, on the passenger side you have to get a little creative with zip-ties and what not so you dont burn wires.
i as well have some heat sleeves around the wires on my passenger side, just be patient and make good use of zip ties it can be done
or you could get the over the valve cover wire set from thunder as previously mentioned

Think he got what you sad
I cant go with the popular vote on this one, I think the over the valve cover looks tacky. If the plugs are ran in the stock location you shouldnt burn any. Take some time to directionally locate the boots and wires going away from the header.
I did have to use one heat sleeve that accel makes on the third cylinder back on the drivers side. Cured the problem though before it burned up a wire (running the msd 8.5s).
Good luck whichever way you go.

I burned about 5 wires after my header install. I eventually got with 99blancoSS to make me a set of MSD 8.5mm wires that would fit with a Made-For-You OTVC kit which I purchased. I should not have that problem ever again 
I used DEI protect-a-boots for 90* boots and zip tied them on, then I ran them away from the headers (I have hooker ceramic coated LT's) and I only had to use a few zip ties. Oh I also picked up some Moroso plug wire seperators at O' Reilly's for cheap and they helped quite a bit keeping them away from the primaries.
