Default Wires

I did a search and didn't really find much. I broke a plug wire while putting in my headers a while ago. Since then I've been running all stock wires except one shitty autozone wire; I think this setup is starting to take a toll on my engine. What wires provide stock/better than stock performance and won't melt on my headers?

I'm using MSD 8.5mm Super Conductors. I don't know if they helped (added HP/TQ) any, but I can't feel any loss. The best thing about them IMO is the insurance of having brand new wires, and that the red wires go great with my black/red scheme under the hood

I had to make my own wires when I relocated my coils.
I've got 7 MSD wires and one factory. (broke one of the MSD's) If somebody wants 'em I'd take $27 shipped.
