They are 9mm vs. 8mm stock with thicker boots.

Brian, A LOT of guys rag on the FRPP wires. I've had multiple sets and they never arced? I do however like the Taylors better because they carry much less ohms per foot. The 409's were uses on my supercharged application and needed the extra insulation for my headers.

I'd swap the wires in my case mostly for the looks. If I pick up a few hp (which you would not feel) so be it.

They are not "just" wires...........lol I have them on the race car. Boots can take short term temp over 1,000* if I remember right.
Read the little side bar article titled "The truth about ignition wire conductors"

I've had several sets of Taylor wires. Put them on just about everything that I own. Where you see the difference is as they age. FMS wires tend to leak through the insulation after a year or two.

I've not had that happen yet with my Taylors and my oldest set is of about 10 years.

I bought 2 brand new sets of ford racing wires that both started arcing out within the first 50 miles. I have since bought a set of the Taylor spiro pro wires and haven't had an issue yet. I will say I havnt had a chance to really drive the car yet so time will tell but so far so good.
