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 thought the Ford wires were reportedly crap, according to these boards.

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.
