What kind of spark plug wires?

Well here I am in middle of my longtube Header install, (and what fun it is ) anyway I'm replacing my plugs and spark plug wires, I bought some Taylor Thunderbolt 50 wires but these damn things are way too big, especially using the stock routing, keeping the wires away from the belt and they look like a good routing to keep them off of the headers. Anyway I'm going to ditch the Thunderbolts, what do you guys recommend for something more along an OEM replacement, doesn't have to be Taylor, hell I might even buy some AC Delco wires. Hopefully Thunder Racing will let me send these back...

Would the Taylor Spiro-Pro Spark Plug Wires be a good choice for me?

ACCEL Extreme 9000. They have coated boots which reflect the heat from headers. They've worked good for me.

Those were what I originally used with my long tubes before I ditched them for an over-the-valve cover setup. They are good wires and not very expensive at that.

Would I need fire-sleeves for them and were you able to run them the way the Stock/AC Delco plug wires are ran? Thanks!

Sorry to "bump" this, but I would like to know if fire-sleeves were needed or not before I order these wires. Once again, SORRY.

I didn't use the heat sleeves, I've seen others do it for added protection on the wires that came close to the primaries. I was fine with the stock routing and cable tie method though.
