most people only do it for solid roller engines, to easily get to the valve train.

Remember the shorter the wires the better.

IMO coilpack relocation gains looks, but the longer wires are a negative.

In a quality spark plug wire there is typically less than 100-ohms of resistance per foot. A performance plug wire such as the MSD 8.5mm Super Conductors, average less than 50ohms/foot...this means that the difference between a standard 6-inch plug wire and a "long" 8-inch plug wire for tall valve covers (where the coils are mounted above the rocker covers, such as Thunder Racing or Katech) is approximately 8-ohms of resistance. IMHO, not enough resistance for consideration. And even when relocating to the firewall, I doubt that it would "noticably" affect performance. Again, IMHO.
