overheating i think...

[jamMSParmyguy]

So, during a recent 900 mile trip that i took in my msp I ran into some heating problems. I'm not sure if it was over heating because my temp gauge was a little below half way during the whole trip and my exhaust temp didn't ever get too hot... but about 2/3 of the way i had to change out my ignition coils (the little plastic things that sit on top of the valve cover) cuz they had melted. I've had my headers wrapped for a while because of this problem. I was wondering what would be a few things that i could do to fix this problem? I've had a good friend recommend a CF hood w/ ram inlets

he also recommended buying an ignition relocation set of "hot sparks"
i was planning on following his advice, but does anyone else have any ideas, suggestions, comments, or help at all?

That seems wierd to me, do you have a EMS or something? I've had big trips with the car and luckily haven't had any issues. Did you drive it straight through or stop for a few hrs before the coils went bad? I drove the car amost 10hrs straight once.

The coils that melted... were they stock or aftermarket?
