Default Headers straight boot or angled plug wires?
I'm about to order a pair of ARH 1 7/8 headers and new plug wires and was wondering what to use with headers? The straight boot plug wires or angled? I'm going with the Firecore 50 plug wires.

Mine are straight on the plug end, and angled on the coil. You might want to get coolsox for your wires, too.

So, the straight boot wires work well with headers? These are what I am looking to get.

I'd just get the GM performance wire set, but I still recommend coolsox.

These fit perfect and the angled ceramic boots won't melt or crack with the extra heat from your headers.
