i bought these otvc wires from thunder racing like 3 months ago, and they keep poppin off of the opti! and then when a loose one i pulled off the little spring thing just came out and its all messed up, these are the biggest piece of crpa wires ive ever seen! stupid msd wires, what should i do? i heard about elite spark plug wires, but i just wasted $100 on these, and it was a little bit of a pita to do, maybe like better tips on it or something?
thanks

 

Are you sure you assembled them correctly?

 

yes, i did them all step by step even with my uncle to make sure, and there was no problem in the beginning

 

I saved myself the trouble and ordered the premade otvc set from elitesparkplugs.com I think I paid only 65.00 for a set and the quality and fitment are perfect.

 

Elite Spark Plugs

Mine were 85$ but I got their high temp ones. For the record, they look mean under there, 9mm bright red wires lol. It makes it look like it should be fast hahah ...

 

is it worth goin 9mm over 8mm? will i notice much of a diff once its on a head/cam car? and is the heat wrap crap worth it?
thanks

 

You must somehow have tension on those wires causing them to pop off. I have the Taylor OVC set, and the boots are on there really snug. I've never had a boot pop off the plug or opti.

 

I've had my Taylors in the OVC configuration for over a year with no issues. For the first time since 1995 I haven't had burned wires because of my headers...Elite wasn't doing custom fit OVC wires then, I dont think...or I probably would've used them....

I have had MSD superconductors on for about 27k now and they are by far the best wires I have ever had. I bought a premade stock set and did my own custom routing job mixing and matching wire lengths as needed and I did not route them OTVC.

I have Hooker LTs and have never burnt a wire.
I agree that you must have the wires too short and they are pulling, my guess is its the passenger side thats giving you trouble, correct?

 

I havent had any issue with my taylors that came with the TR kit.
