My guess is the ford racing ones would be just fine. The important thing is that they are new and the contacts are clean.

I got rid of my MSD wires the multiangle crap ripped from three of the wires. It also has a slight hesitation at idle. Not even a year later I swithed to Taylor wires and the car idles better and cheaper.

Yeah the one thing with the multi angles, is you have to plug them in and form them but you can't twist them all around numerous times or the fingers will break. If you form them and leave them there fine.

I have the Ford Racing 9mm wires and I am happy with them. They are a little long, but no biggie.

Never had a problem with Ford Racing, now I am also using Taylor 9mm. Some of the other wires i.e. accel caused interference with the radio.

i like the msd superconductors. i've had them on and off numerous times and havnt had any problem with them breaking and they have a much better fit than the ford racing wires

I have had two sets of the ford wires. They are a good wire but way too long. I got a set of the MSD that were cut to lenght. I like them alot.
