I need set of "header wires" and have you used taylors with 45 ends? Do they work with pcm etc?

Nothing wrong with stock wires, there is no gain!

GMPP red 8mm wires here :yesnod: they accept the stock heat shields too. I've had no problems at all with them. they are cheap to, at around $40

I'm using MSD Wires with TPIS Long Tube headers. No problems.

I have TPIS headers.. I just ordered Taylor 409 Wires from Summit.. about $53 bucks..
They offer better heat and arcing protection..

I've got MSD's, Koolsox, & TPIS too but I have lots of arc'n & burnt wire problems.
After 20 minutes of track time the coating on the headers is gone, so there is a lot of heat around the wires.
I think I'll try the Taylor wires like Chuckster just got next time.
