Default MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Wires Okay w/ Mac Headers?

Is the heat resistant range of the MSD Wires high enough for header applications with our motor (LS1)? Just curious since MSD doesn't have Heat Specs for there wires, or at least I can't find it anywhere.
-note: I have never had a problem with the stock factory wires touching my headers

I've ordered MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Plug Wires along with NGK TR55-IX Plugs. Just want to make sure that I have the right stuff for the right application.

I'm using them with my MACs and everything is fine. Had them for about 2 years now. My MACs are ceramic coated, though.

I've had them for over two years with SLP LT's and no problems at all. The wire boot is thicker and more dense than factory wires. FWIW, I've never read about anyone having a problem with those wires and Mac's.

ive got them with my headers and they are ok but im switchign to moroso's wires. the msd wires are cracking at the boots from the heat i think and i dont liek that. plus one is melted a little where it was slightly touching the header, so jsut make sure it not touching anywhere
