ABS / HIPS Melting on large print, suggested settings?

On large prints my parts start to melt and sag when using ABS with HIPS support. I'm running a TAZ 6 with ABS and HIPS at 240C and 110C Bed. The first few hours look great but after it gets enough insulation that the heat build and the part starts to sag/warp/melt. The HIPS turns brown. I don't have an enclosure yet ( should be here at weeks end) but I'm printing with a ooze shield which provides a similar effect. I want to drop the bed temp after a couple layers but I don't want the ABS to warp and delaminate. Does any one have a proven solution?
