What can be done to reduce heat in the foot box?

[lippy]

I'm building my ERA now, so I don't know how effective this will be. But I had ERA install the heat barrier on the front and sides of the footboxes. I also ordered the optional heat shields and vents. Since there is no insulation on the top of the foot boxes, I installed Cool-it (similar to Dynamat) on the inside/tops of the foot boxes, and on the back of the firewall. Lastly, I ceramic coated the headers. I considered putting Cool-it on the inside sides and bottom of the footboxes, but I didn't want to overdo it as Cool-it is heavy and makes the carpet installation more difficult.
