Default Custom Ignition Wires Needed

I have to get some custom length ignition wires cut for the 402 since I stashed the coils in the fender area. I'll also want different heads on a few of the wires so they avoid the headers as much as possible.

What are the top 3 or so brands of wires to contemplate for LS blown application running IGN-1A?

msd stuff works fine but after a few years my boots got a little toasty on the plug end even with coated headers... I replaced them with taylors that have ceramic ends to prevent that from happening again, I went that route because I don't like heat socks... I think accel also makes ceramics that you can cut to length

I used to have some links saved. I know one was Firecore. I have MSD on my 99 which I cut and they have served it well. Ceramic may be something to try, but I am still going to use the boots for now. I'll get the car together for this year with the TSP headers it came to me with. Next year I may consider a swap to ARH.

I believe this is where I did a set. they used firecore cermic and custom made the length. Different car, really good stuff and has lasted for years.

I'm considering do this as well to mine to also relocate the coils.

Those are cut to length with the boots my engine needed, best on the LS market:

Another vote for Firecore, can't go wrong with them.

I run MSD wires with boot socks on my C5. The boot socks touch the header primaries but the headers are ceramic coated.
