Default High temp spark plug wires?

What kind of spark plug wires are everyone using with long tube headers? Ive heard sometimes the heat will just melt the wires. I had high temp ones on my ls1 but dont really know which ones to get for my lt1.

It really doesn't matter. As long as you make sure the wires won't touch the headers, you'll be fine.

I've used Accel wires the last 3 times I've bought wires, and have never had the first problem with them.

depends on how lazy you are I guess.... if you take the time to run them and zip-tie/loom them so that they dont ever touch the headers, it wont have a problem. I really like zip-ties and custom length wires.

I run over the valve cover wires and they fit nicely. look good too, got the chrome braided stuff on the whole length of the wire.
