I like the wires to be clean and cut to lenght. With that said I was too lazy and bought the MSD set. They were pretty damn close and I used some wire looms that bolt to the valve cover studs to clean it up and keep them off the headers(previously learned that silicon can still catch on fire).

Ive had Live wires for the last 2 years, but a 100 beans a set was killing me. So I just got a set of Taylor 8.0's (Blue)

I wish there was a way you could get wires and cut them to fit yourself. I've been buying the ford racing wires and they're a bit too long, but oh well...$40 isn't bad, so I'll prob. just continue using those unless I find something else for about the same price that fit better.

Just put the 8mm Taylors on my car; they were a little long, but not bad.





Didn't have my sweet zip-tie wire looms on the wires in the pics, but it gives you a decent idea on what to expect for length.

Im going to use the Accell 300+ race wires. Thats what all of my fellow stang friends use, and dont have any problems with it. But when i upgrade some more, im going with the TrickFlow 10mm wires.

I never heard of anything but bad luck with the Ford Racing wires. Mine dry rotted and stopped working within a couple years (stored in a temp controlled garage). My other friends stopped firing one cylinder and the car was running awful for a while. Another friend had one wire fail on him also. I have MSD wires now, but havent had them long enough to judge.

Well I can't say anything bad about the Ford Racing wires. That's what I've got on there now and they're about 7 years old. I suspect though, that their time is probably up.

Well... the final verdict is in. "Cut to fit" wires are the WIN!

Last weekend, I installed a set of Taylor 8.2mm Cut to Fit wires and the layout is awesome. I hadn't realized how much EXCESS wire you get in a set of pre-fit wires. Some of the lengths of wire were more than 7 inches longer than they needed to be.

Moroso Ultra 44

I used to run Taylors,but got pissed off cause the ends kept pulling out,now no problems with the Moroso's and thier freaking HUGE with a nice covering.

Not real cheap though,only downside.
