Best spark plug wireset

[LiquidGT]

I was wondering what you guys think are the best reasonably priced plug wires, I have a set of FRPP wires that I used for the past 3yrs/15k miles. For some reason I got slightly better gas mileage and power with the hella worn out Car Quest wires. I thought about getting some OEM Motorcraft wires because I dont want to get laughed at for having parts store wires.

 

[Fast63]

anybody that laughs because you have parts store wires must be partial to chevy's

I think Ford Racing Wires are a good deal.

Ford Racing.

I got nothing against LLT parts store wires.

You can find OEM style wires for a good deal so that might do well for ya since you mentioned it.

Good luck.

I might try some wires from the zone since they do have a LLT and don't cost too much any way. I used them on other cars, sometimes the're a little long, but my ford racing ones are kinda long too.

You probably did not see any
difference because the old
wires were functioning as
per spec.

FRPP wires are junk. Every set ive seen leak voltge like crazy and they dont like to stay on the plugs.

You are definitely one of the few that havent! I know quite a few people (myself included) that ran them and had issues......

I prefer the MSD wires but I have been using the AFM wires and like them quite a bit as well.

I bought some Ford Racing 9mm blue wires in August 2007. I installed them on my 91 and they look great. I used some Motorsport 9mm spreaders next the the dizzy. I oblonged the 8mm factory holders on the valve covers with a drill to hold them straight and keep them from rubbing. They were much improved from when I bought them back in 2000. They were too long for a 5.0L I had back then.

I have always had good luck with Taylor wires. Never really liked the FRPP wires.

i have FRPP wires, and have no complaints. they are a bit too long for my liking, but other than that, they look good and work good for me. especially for the price

hmm frpp wires on my stang too w/o issues, maybe a hit or miss deal . since MrXCESSIVESPEED brought this up I'll do the same, they haven't been on for that long worth checking them though..

 

[Blandnuts]

I've been running the FRPP sets for over 7 years with no problems. I'd say they are a bit long too.

Taylor, FRPP, and usually all other main manufacturers except MSD.

I think the MSD stuff is all made in China now.

 

[LiquidGT]

I havent had a light show because of a voltage leak with the FRPP wires, but I think they're more resistant that the ones I had, and I don't get a "click'' on a couple of boots when I put it on the plug.
Also I heard somewhere that MSD makes FRPP wires, is that true?

Since now throwing out names of wires we like/dislike: I have Sidewinders on one stang and MSD SCs on the other. Both function fine.

Just like with anything, some folks will have had issues with a brand and some wont (and verse vice).
