Default All you folks with long tubes.

I was just wondering what you guys are running for plug wires with your long tubes. I have JBA wires which came with my truck and now with the pacesetters all 4 wires on the driver side are resting on the header. I'm guessing these wires were meant to be used with the JBA shorty headers? Hahaha. So what are you guys using?

I had a few stock wires melt pretty bad so I went with some accel 9mm. The key to keeping your wires from melting is to turn the boot (the one that goes on the coil) up so the wire doesn't touch the header anymore
