If you do use bigger wires, you will likely need to develop a new routing. Those metal channels are snug even with factory wires. Considering the factory routing is a real pain to start with, don't make it worse. With headers, routing over the valve covers is nice, but with factory manifolds I don't think that is even an option.

 

Didn't take long to prove your point, did it Rob?

But since YoungCompton doesn't have a "signature" we have no idea what he's going to put them on. Maybe its a 1,500HP turbo setup with an extreme high voltage ignition system. That's about the only place those wires would make any sense.

PS - do a google search on Vision Motorsports, the supposed manufacturer of that 10.2mm wire. Only thing that seems to turn up is a source that sells lighting.

 

Welcome to the YoungCompton Roast lol! as it says in the post "((((I don't know much about the wires)))) but ima buy this set and hope for the best its reasonably priced" i seen what looked like a pretty good deal and i shared the idea. Yes i figured bigger is better on the wires so thanks everyone i learned something new

 

With the extreme list of mods he has I would LOATH to hear how much fun he has trying to run routing on anything larger than OEM.



Hey brother, get some AC Delcos or, hell, Retail Auto Parts brand. (AZ/Shucks/PB's...etc..) They are all 7mms and will be just fine.

Good luck,
Ivan

BTW-Run some over the counter NGK TR5s..can't go wrong there.

 

just replaced mine after header install with some 8.5 msd wires and it wasnt to bad to route those. a few cut up knuckles, a zip tie, and a couple hours later it was done
btw they only have 30-50 ohms of resistance i think compared to the few thousand ohm stockers

i know msd has there street fire 8mm (500ohms) wires not sure how good they are, then jegs has there brand of 8.5mm and both are around 40-50, has any body else used these? im curious cuz ive been looking at those since i dont have the money to buy the 8.5mm superconductor wires

 

not taylors IMO.

 

No....they still lose them....all my old plugs were missing them. I guess the get blown out the exhaust.....I hope.

 

I was at AZ last night and asked what kind of wires they sold just to see what other options our friend might have.

You can Special Order MSD 7mm wires for the exact same price as their "oem" Duralast branded ones....$39.99.

They only come in black but I'm sure that the quality isn't bad.

Just thought I'd pass it along,
Ivan

 

...though the stockers seem to work just as well...

 

Taylor wires--Had 2 sets on my previous Mustangs and they just turn to sh*t in about a year. Tried a set on my Firebird years back with an OTVC setup as well, same thing. Won't EVER buy again.

MSD Superconductors--Bought a set back when car was basic bolt ons. If they are anywhere in the vicinity of the header tubes, they will get hard as a rock and crack open. Not impressed for the $90 paid for them. Won't buy again.

Stock wires-- I don't know if GM uses the same maker for all their wires. My '00 GTP had 26k on it and was exactly one year old when I had a major issue with misfiring over 3500rpm. Tried averything to fix it. In a last ditch effort, I replaced the still new looking stock wires with some Accel Super Stock 7mm wires. Problem solved.

I'e been thorugh 4 sets of wires on my Firebiord in the last 8 years and the best ones have been my current Accel 8.8mm, 300+, cut to fit wires. They have been on the car since '03 and are perfect. They are close as hell to the header tubes as well. They still look and perform like new. I think I paid around $60 for them too.

BTW- [edit] stock Fbody wire routing. I have never even considered trying to route a new set of wires how the factory ones were.

 

I just installed ACcel wires 8.0 with ceramic boots and ngk t55 plugs good as any.
