I'm running the 10.4 mm Taylor wires with the "Fire Sleeves" from Thunderracing.........with no issues :) I have the TPIS headers as well. The sleeves were worth the money.

Hmmmmm, I just tried their site and can't get it for some reason. I think I paid about $45. Well worth it IMO.

I've had the GM performance plug wires on with B&B headers for almost two years with no issues.

If I get the taylor thunder volts, Can I still use the stock heat shield on the boot?

Please comment on the use of the stock shield with aftermarket wires. GOOD or BAD
