Default Coilpack Relocation Help

I have searched to try and find the answers first and i have found that i need opti spark terminals and a Universal Wire kit so i can cut them to length.
Heres whay i found....

PT# 46052 Taylor Opti-Spark End Terminals..... But what wires?? I am wanting to use Taylors also.
Do i use.

PT# 73051 Taylor Spiro-Pro 8mm Universal Wire Kit, 90 degree boots, BLACK
or
PT# 73055 Taylor Spiro-Pro 8mm Universal Wire Kit, 180 degree boots, BLACK

So the real question is do i use 90 degree boots or 180 degree boots or is there a straight boot kit and if so does anyone know the PT#?
Thanks
Kyle

The 180 degree boots are straight. As for using a 90 or 180 degree boot it depends on where you are relocating the coils to and what would make it a cleaner looking install.

I had a custom set of plug wires made up by Magnecor. They have the correct ends for the ls1 coilpacks.

You need the 180, the 90's will make the plug boot hit the headers, I just did this mod a couple of months ago.

Any problems since the relo? I read recently how they went to the valve cover mounted coil packs to put them as close as possible, because they had problems during prototype phases with heat exposure etc...
