best plug wires?
I need a new set of plug wires, and I have a set of RKSsport long tube headers, which are the best plug wires to use?

Re: best plug wires? (3rdtoy)
I use Taylor Thundervolts, but IMO, when running headers, the most important thing is the insulators (KoolSox) for cylinders 4 & 7 (at a minimum). Without them, the heat from the headers will cook the wires and you will develop a misfire. Even with the insulators, I need to replace mine from time to time.

I use Magnecor kv85. Those wires use factory style boots so you can re-use the oem heat shields.
