    Default Burnt a plug wire. Need ideas on a new set

    My car has had a miss for a few days. I went out and started pulling my Kooks off so i can be ready for the LPP headers coming in tomorrow. my #5 wire got burnt and the #7 has melted a little.

    So i want to run a new set. I am looking at the Taylor full metal jacket series. Buy sweet Jesus they are expensive!

    i had problems with the boots on mine so I went with the Accell with the ceramic boots, but these were in the running too. I was able to route my wires low enough on the block to no need the metal jacket ones, but i did use some Accell heat tubing over a few of the wires onthe pass side. Either way they are not cheap but worth the money ovwer the pain of melting wires/boots

    I got my Taylor steel braided for $150 and it was worth every penny
    The amount you would spend buying the cheaper wires every time you burnt them these would pay for themselves twice
