Default What to do with MSD wires near Kooks LTs?

as I put this thing back together - I changed spark plugs and got a set of the MSD 8.5mm wires. Should I use nothing, the stock metal boots, or the heat socks? I only want to do this once and want the best protection, not looking for an award winning cosmetic engine bay. Thanks

Are you using the 24x setup, or that just a reference pic? The metal boot covers will not fit over MSD boots. Kooks has pretty good plug clearance, the 1 3/4" at least. I run mine stock routing with no protection and do not have issues.

Thanks all - yes, I do know the boots will bend and if the msd don't fit the metal ends I guess the decision is easy. Won't hurt anything to have the little bit of extra protection of the socks then?
