Nology Hotwires. I have used them for years on bikes, quads, sleds. They are awesome. Now you can get them for cars. I love them. They are especially good for blower or turbo cars cuz there is no way the spark these wires generate can be blown out. They are very expensive. I paid like 280 bucks for the set of eight.

i've always had good luck with them, but you do have to route them correctly or they're susceptible to arcing.

I just bought the Steeda 8mm wires for my 92. They were only $49.99 through Steeda's website.
