Default Burnt plug boot, anything new

Just a shout out to all the collective wisdom on CC. I have 2 spark plug boots the headers keep burning because of my header tube and plug location. I run an unusual header and head configuration that relocated the spark plug in the head exasperating the problem. I carry 2 plug wires and live with it now.

Is there any new product out there like a short body spark plug, space shuttle heat shielding or ???

I have reshaped the header tubes as much as possible short of building new headers. Made a metal heat shield with a slight air gap, use Fire Sleeve and high dollar plug boots, and all I could think of. The plug boot is just too close to the header tube so I need a nuclear fix here
