Are these wires good?

Are these good wires to use? If not what should I use?

LT1 Spark Plug Wire Kit

Or should I just get a regular set and go under the headers?

Taylor's are excellent wires. I changed my old Taylor's for a new set recently. They had 50,000 miles on them. For the hell of it I ohm'd out the old vs. new and found nearly NO variation in the wires, even with 50,000 miles of use on them.

Seems like everyone either loves or hates Taylor wires. I personally will never purchase another set because they didnt hold up well on my motor. 3 other people I personally know have experience the same problems as I have so Im not alone. It seems like any mildy hot object breaks down the protective silicone and causes the wires to arch and lose spark energy... when I say mildly hot im talking about waterpump and valve covers too. Now I run MSD wires and am convinced they are among the best you can buy.

I just installed the exact kit. I think they are great for keeping your wires away from the headers! I would suggest that you spray some WD40 in the boot before you slip the wire inside , I tried without useing the wd40 with only the silicone greese and there was now way I could get farther than half way up the boot. But yeah the stripping and criping is not too bad you just have to take your time. Thunder Racing has to be my favorite Co. that I have ordered from the have excellent customer service and are great guys to deal with.
