Default OVC wires on an lt1

I will be ordering an over the valve cover wire kit for the LT1 in a few days, I am undecided on which one to go with.
Which ones look the best, on top or on the side of the valve cover?


I am going to try and find some better examples, but that pic gets the point across.

Just personal preference I guess, I'm gonna get the ones that go on top of the valve covers next week.

This option is kinda nice:



But if you don't have $900 handy, this option is cool too:

After many burned #5 plug wires I went with the OVC set up and have been trouble free ever since...Its a great mod...Mine looks similar to revelations except I went with all black to try to keep the "factory look."

I have the side mount. a real PITA to get the brackets on. I had to loosen up my headers to get the bracket on. then it was rea; fun trying to get the bolts on the bracket to go in and not fall off of the allen wrench

So wait these 50 dollar taylor plug wires are better than the 179 dollar acdelco wires?? or are they just good because they're cheap?

*sorry a little off topic but i might try this mod too*

I did the OVC (never had a problem with burnt wires since I switched). I would definitely recommend doing the OVC for a nice clean look.
