If you want the "best" set of wires, get some LIVEWIRES from www.performancedistributors.com. I have them on my car and they are awesome! I dont think ill ever need another set of plug wires. They are expensive though.

I've had Taylor Spyro Pro's on my car for 3 years....no complaints.


I read a test a while back and the MSD wires actually lived up to the hype. I don't remember numbers but suffice to say they were the least restrictive of all the major brands.

It seems that everyone swears by Taylor and Live Wires, parts store wires are OK, and FRPP are hit and miss.

For what it's worth, the Merkur crowd SWEARS by OEM stock replacement Ford wires.

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?

I have heard that many times....and to look at them they look like the same wire.

frpp wires aint great but for less that $40 not a bad deal.
the end of one of the wires broke off. and i got another end and striped it and re-crimped it.

If the hype is true I wouldnt mind having a set of those wires, they cost $140 at Jegs though.
