Default Help!

What are the most heat resistant plug wires that you all are using? I have long tubes on my 95 TA and have burnt wires on several occasions. I even burnt one with an insul tube on it! I need some help and some opinions!

well I'm now running MSD 8.5mm with Russell boot sleeves not over the plugs but actually where they get close to touching the primaries and it works great. When I had the LTCC I ran 10mm Magnecore wires, which for $175 they better be heat resistant, those puppies worked great too, but I'm back to running an opti now so switched.
