Default best plug wires for LT-1 with headers?

Doesn't seem to be much to choose from. Boot got burnt on headers so I need to replace them. Which ones do you use?

Thanks,
Kerry

I'm using the OEM red LT4 wires. No problems now for over 2 years with TPIS long tubes.

I use firesleeves on a couple of mine to keep them from getting burnt. No one wire will be better than another when they touch a hot header. All of them melt if not protected.

whatever wires you choose, get a boot cover for it. Jacobs electronics offers a super high temp wire that has a ceramic boot. Guarantee that wont melt. :cheers:
