I have a '98 GLX, & I have not noticed the heat problem that you are
describing.  When I look under the hood of my car, I notice that the entire
firewall is covered with aluminized heat shield.  It's very noticeable
because it has a reflective quality to it like polished aluminum.

I've never looked under the hood of a '97 (or any other VR6 cars for that
matter); so I'm not sure if your car has this heat shield or not.  If it
does not, then you may find some relief by retrofitting it to your car.
Racer Wholesale sells 40" wide sections of this stuff for about $30.00 per
yard.  They can be reached at 800-886-RACE or www.racerwholesale.com
