Default Plug wires

Well for time being im running a stock cap. I have headers so i dont like the fact of stock wires being 7mm . I have The choice of 8.5 mm or 10.4. The headers they get close and Dry out my wires (till the crumble apart) so im going to get some metal jackets. Am I better off with the 10 or 8mm?

I've got some 10.2mm wires and jackets, and haven't had any problems so far. As long as you get the jackets, or run OTVC wires, you should be fine.

You would be just fine with the 8.5mm. I would contact "99BLANCOSS" on here. He custom makes the MSD 8.5 at a good price. I'm running the MSD 8.5 SD. Nice wire.

+1. I also run heat insulating sleeves at the wire ends near the headers, just for extra insurance.

I replaced my stock wires with 10.2 MM wires and i love em!

I also replaced my coil with a MSD Blaster Coil and changed the spark plugs with some NGK TR55's. I felt a difference in throttle response!
