Default MY FEET ARE ON FIRE!!!!

so we drove down to Battle of the Imports at Rockingham today, and it was such a lovely day for a drive. I drove about 4 hours in 90+ degree weather, and had absolutely no overheating problems with my newly finished set-up (Thanks Yack!),
however, inside of the car was a different story all together.

It must have been 150 degrees in both of my floorboards and short of buying some asbestos shoes, I gotta fix it...

I'm planning on header wrapping the manifold and the downpipe, and laying a large sheet of heat-resistant foil on the lower firewall. I'd love to Jet-Hot everything, but I'm out of money, and I'm not taking the car apart again for a long long time.

What have you fellas done to keep the heat out?

are you running really rich? sometimes excess fuel will burn in the exhaust and/or cat and really heat up the shifter and floor.
