You could alternatively insulate it from the interior, but I think it's better done in the tunnel.
Beyond that, set the A/C on floor and let it blow. If you could bring all your mechanical temps down or evacuate that heat quickly while not moving, GM and other manufacturers would love to know how you do it.

Yeah I just thought it was weird it doesn’t get that hot during Idle even for long periods of time but if I’m going under 10mph and have to stop every few seconds it gets super hot. The temperature itself doesn’t bother me or anything the main symptom that worries me is how sluggish and jerky it gets afterwards. If I drive it for a bit at cruising highway speeds or park it and turn it off for a bit it goes back to normal.
