Spark Plug wire choice
I will be installing headers next weekend. I figured I would replace plugs and wires at the same time.
Any recommendations of good wires, or warnings against certain brands?
FYI, these will be going on a stock engine, except for the lt headers, and possibly a bigger cam later this summer.
Thanks, Matt

I have Hooker 2151 headers. Possibly an ignorant questions, but will 90 degree boots fit with these? Do I need certain wires for headers?
On Summits website I'm seeing Taylor Spiros ranging from $57 to $110. Which are ya'll using? 8mm, 10.4mm?

Taylor makes a specific wire set for the LTx engines. All of the boots are 90*, except for #'s 6 and 8.

I just put a set of Taylor 8mm's on my 92 last week. I used the 8mm's because I wanted to use the stock wire looms. $57 at Summit.
I've been using Taylor's on racecars for years with no failures, close to headers,etc.
You won't gain any advantage by going to a larger wire than 8mm in your application even if you change cams.

Well then I think I will put me an order out for some Taylor Spiro-Pro 8mm wires (TAY-74225) like STL94LT1 suggested. They do have silicone boots like CFI-EFI recommended.
So one more question... what plugs? Haha.
Thanks guys for all the help.
