spark plug wires


Any recommendations? I was thinking the Taylor Spiro/Pro 8.8's but would like some opinions. I got some cheap ones from Checker to get me by but they are already nasty and aren't the right length so a couple of them were laying on my headers.

Swapped them for some new ones and routed them a little different so no burning hopfully. But I think I'm gonna order the Taylor's on Wednesday when I get paid unless anyone has another suggestion

I've heard bad things about MSD's.. and I don't need super duper wires. Just some that are better than stock and won't crap out on me in a couple months.

I've had issues with my last TWO sets of MSD wires, I like Taylor from now on, had a set of Accel's as well, no issues with those

well, I can say I'm not going to buy 10mm wires. What about the 8mm spiro/pro's? Good for a stock 5.0?

what do you mean you dindt like them? could you notice a difference in performance? the msd super conductors are about the best off the shelf plug wire unless you buy them from a company that custom makes them

Fitment wasn't the best and just seemed cheap to me. I want some custom fit ones so I don't have to worry about any wires bouncing around and laying on my headers

Well the 10 mm is a little overkill, I don't have any personal experience with the spiro pros but have never heard anything bad about them, and judging by the quality Taylor uses on the 409 set I would assume the the others would be a nice set. The FRPP wires arc alot, at least they did when I had them. Whatever you order just make sure you don't get all straight boots because they will end up laying right on the header and causing you problems.(melting boots and cause the loss of a cylinder)

I think I'm gonna go with the spiro pro's. My check is gonna be alot smaller from the whole oil pump shit. I'll let you guys know how they run. Thanks for the input
