I know what im going with,Moroso Ultra 40's.Those things are the badest wires there are,there like the Dart block of spart plug wires.I got Taylors on now,and they do a good job.

Anything besides MSD wires.

I have them and I hate the bastards, but I believe they suck becuase of the place I ordered them from sent me a universal set instead of the custom fit mustang ones.

One word on the Taylors,when I change plugs (which I do alot),the metal ends inside the boots like to come out.And,sense there a molded on boot,you cant put them back in tightly (or you will always worsy about if there working).They make a tool to remove them with out pulling the piece out,but I still had it happen now and then.

msd's. I had a set of Livewires before the msd's. The resistance was from 1500-3000ohms on the livewires. The highest msd resistance was 175ohms. And the msds were cheaper.

My 9mm Ford racing wires are fine. No complaints about them.

I run Accel 300+ Race Wires on my car and ive had them for about two years. Im happy with the product and they are the proper length unlike some types of Taylor wires.

Actually, the boots on the Taylors are not molded on.
Just pull and twist and they will come off of the wire.
Then you can use a little dielectric grease to slide them back on once you have reinstalled the metal wire-end.

But, I know what you mean, I have pulled like 4 of mine off a few times and even though I think I put them back together properly, I alway's wonder. And for as much money as these things cost! They aught to hold together a little better.

I have had the taylors, the Ford wires and MSD's and currently run with Performance distributor Liewires. I must say these are nice wires. I did like the taylors alot but they melted from the header heat. I guess it all depends on what your going for I hope these will last a while.

thats probably why you dont like them. I have been running my msds for awhile now and love them no complaints at all. They really get a good grip on the plug and cap. Unlike other plugs that are sloppy with a loose fit.

I just recently got my MSDs on. They were the universals, but I custom fit them to the stang. Work awesome and the resistance measures really low on all of them. The 90 boots have no problems with touching the headers, and they look badass. Price was decent and it took me about 3 hours to get them all done.

No .. the custom ones suck too . I paid 75 bucks for a set . They lasted 6 months and started burning thru . Some in the middle of the wire , some at the cap boots . At no point did they touch a hot surface .

Wait till you get a nice shock through them from a 6AL box
That was enough of a reason for me to change them. They were about 3 years old.

I run trick flow wires now

I run the MSD Super Conductor wires. They're a damn good wire. If you get the MSD blue "heli core" wires you probably won't be happy, the red "super conductor" wires are one of the best out there.
