Default headers dont like ignition wires

07 Z06 with the kooks 2 inch headers and mast black label heads.Typical misfire with ignition wires so close to the headers.These have to be custom made because the coils are mounted on the side of the firewall under the fender.Was looking at that qualitywire company that builds custom high temp wires for the vipers.Any other suggestions? Im not looking to save money.I want the best quality and will spend the money.

This may not solve your issue, but I ran plug jackets on a SBC with headers, the wires are so close they basically lay on the headers with no problems.

FIrecore is my suggestion. Their standard wires are top notch and they also do custom sets.

They are WAYYY nicer than stock or MSD

Firecore are the best wires on the market. 50 ohms per foot and as stated above they are happy to do exact length sets.
