Default best plug wires for a budget?

looking to throw a new set of wires on the pig. looking to spend under 75 bucks. was looking at some on jegs and summit. going to be on long tube headers with ac delco opti with taylor boot protectors

i used the summit brand plug wires and was happy with them. i did however burn a couple after awhile on my pacesetter headers. i now have otvc wires and now wouldn't run them any other way

was just looking into that. however i have never had good luck with MSD wires on any of my vehicles and seems to be all i can find for them premade. i really dont want to make my own set. is there a different set of OTVC wires in a different brand?

I know they are more then 75$ but for 105 granatelli has his. I bought a set and without a doubt they are top notch... Rumor is the add hp due to near z ohms resistance, truth is i think they are bad *** quality, and with a life Time warranty, you can't go wrong... I have my old ls1 wires from the TA w/ 30k miles still though just incase they surprise me lol

I have the Jegs 8mm wires and I am happy with them so far. I only went with the 8mm because they are red. I have a black car and a red intake, thought the red wires would look good. Can't really even see them!!! Would have known that if the car was together when I purchased it, but it wasn't.

my friend and i run jegs 8.5 mm wires and so far we like them alot! there well priced and well put together. They do have high resistance but its no biggie. Even tho the next time i need to get wires. Im definitely going to get the Granatelli zero ohm wires
