Cooked starter! help pls

So the second starter on my swap is quitting already. The flowtech y is fine for the stockish set up but the starter is getting too hot and won't restart the car hot. Don't want to keep having this problem, what do people recommend. The headers themselves are partially wrapped. I will try to shield the y by wrapping it too, anyone tried this, any better ideas???

Autozone actually has a solenoid heat shield for a few bucks, don't know how well it works though.

You can try it, but I'd still say Mad Electronics has got the last fix you'll ever need.
