I read a detailed article a few months back, and basically, you're not getting anything special by getting "Race wires." I don't know if that's what these are, but what I AM saying is that you should get what looks best, because buying the larger wires for a performance gain isn't going to do much good at all.

If you want red, I put in the Accel Super Stock 8mm. You have to cut to fit, but that is easy. They were about $40 from Advance Auto...

Look for the MSD Superconductors. Also, look at the Taylors
