Default new spark plug wires?

I have installed SLP LT headers and am curious what to do about the factory plug wires.How long before the fry from the heat /and what is best ones to get that will last. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
So far have had no problem with the stock ones but it has only been a month since install of headers,I did change to ngk tr55 plugs
car is my daily driver.

when i went to ngk plugs i also bought msd wires just for peace of mind.

i've read posts that say plug wires are so short that changing them won't make a diff. peformance wise. I think I could've left my stock ones on for a while. it's up to you.

I just run the stock wires.No problems since I got the car.They even held up to many Nitrous runs.When it's time for new wires,I'll get the stock ones again.They have a nice solid connection.

When I get new plugs and wires, i think i'm going to get the accel 9000's. They have some sort of heat reflective material. They should be good. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I left my stock spark plugs and wires when I put on my FLP's at 5000 miles. 5500 miles later they were still in perfect condition. I did go ahead and replace them out with NGK TR55's and a set of Taylor Thundervolt wires when I installed the cam.
