Default relocating coil packs What Brand of Wires Do I Need

Relocating coil packs to front of frame.
I guess, I'll have to make my own set.
The longest wire will be around 20" long. #7 & #8 plugs.
I'll need around 15' of wire, 8 straight boots for the plugs and 8 90* boots for the coil packs.

Is MSD the way to go? Or other brands?

Also is this going to have any effect on equall spark to each plug?
I know the shorter, and same lenght the better. But old school motors had different lenght wires.

Do these kits come with 90* boots for the coil packs?
That's my main concern.

The Taylor wires I bought did. I bought their universal kit and it came with the correct ends for the coil packs too. It was a really nice kit. The wires were like 10.5 wires or something. They were huge.

I'm looking for some 90* TERMINALS & BOOTS for the COIL PACKS.

All I have found are the stock STRAIGHT TERMINALS & 45* BOOTS for the COIL PACKS.

NOT 90* for the SPARK PLUGS.

I don't know if anyone actually makes these for the LS1 COIL PACKS.

I'll make my own kit, just looking for the 90* COIL PACK TERMINALS & BOOTS.

Sorry for the big print, but most people are getting the coil pack and plug ends mix up.

Oh yeah, I'm not hollaring. LOL!!!

I would be making my own set reguardless of kits, unless the kit is perfect!
That way they are exactly how you want them..... not to short, not to long.
The way I look at it, a custom set up gets custom parts..... you didn't get your motor out of a box!

Have you done that scoop on your standard hood yet?

Not yet on the scoop.
The stock flat hood only covers alittle less than 1/2 the TB. So I just ran it like that. May ditch the scoop idea.
Probably going to buy the VFN 5" Sloped Hood and make a air pan extended
to the front nostrials.
