are you burning them up because the headers are open? try some header extensions or run them through something to shield it. do you have good grounds? many a cable has been burned because the engine/trans are not grounded properly. good luck..

Imperial Services claims to have wire-wound shift cables that won't melt.

mine runs from the floor, hugs the transmission forward, then I routed it between the starter & the block to keep it away from the headers. Zip tied it to a tab I installed at one of the inspection sheild bolts. I've always found them to be pretty resilient. Only thing you can't do with one is let it lay directly on a header tube.

I have a B&M Quicksilver that I modified to be stock appearing. The included cable is routed around my downpipe (I am running manifolds) and is about 1.5" away but I wrapped it with some 3/8 fuel line and its been happy so far.

I had the same issues with the cable on my pro ratchet. I now have a 4' cable and while it's a tight fit it doesn't touch my supercomp headers. I also run it through a thermal sleeve for protection.
I've also heard the standard duty cables are more flexible than the heavy duty ones like the ones that come with the shifters. May be worth looking into.
