Headers burnt a plug wire...

Well, been going for about 300 miles now after the header install and I finally got shot down with a burnt wire at the track today

. Car runs like crap now so how about a suggestion. Replace the one wire, or do them all at the same time. Haven't done this one yet so what kind of fun problems do I have to look foward to?

Oh btw, and now I am fully aware of the importance wire routing....

Nice.

I may do something like that tonight. I've got a couple wires that are close.

I just went OTVC and never have to worry about them again! Reason I did it that way is cuz stock routing is a huge pain.

Replace the wire, get some zip ties, reroute them yourself. It's not that hard.

Cool products, but it really seems redundant. Get some zip ties and a new wire. You just saved yourself $70.

This is the first time I've ever ran a 1/4 mile. Let me just say "street tires didn't work, need some slicks!!" I had alot of fun though. Still waiting for my tune job next week. Everyone claimed the track was really cold and it showed with everybody spinning out...
