Since Taylor wires suck, what to use?

For an OVC long tube installation what wire set can i use? I have had my new taylors for 2 weeks and they already are arcing real bad and are no where close to the headers. I was thinking maybe some moroso's but how do i get them with the proper lt1 optispark boots and cut to fit? I was particularly looking at the ultra 40 race wires. thanks

I use these: http://www.moreperformanceinc.com/plugwire.htm

They are expensive but they work.

Can you order the msd's as a cut to fit kit or do they only come in precut lengths for the lt1? Will they work mounted ovc?

Thanks again guys

Those More Performance wires actually look pretty good to me. TNThub, do you have any pics of them on your engine?

I used Taylor wires for 5 years on a 12.82 @ 106 MPH car with a stock motor...With exhaust manifolds.
I did switch to MSD 8.5 MM wires when I did my head/cam swap, though.
