And that's the reason I want better wires. Ive got ceramic coated manifolds, plug boot heat sleeves and everything has about an inch of clearance, but they just have so much extra slack in these truck wires. It really makes it tough to route and keep away from hot parts. I think I will try the ceramic accels and report back.

I ordered the car length wires, they fit perfectly but i have the round/heatsink style coils, the truck wires were too long. I took a few pics to update my build thread but haven't gotten around to posting

I would like to check them out next time you're around, just to see if they would work with my turbo hot pipes

that engine would look even cleaner if you relocated those coils and run those wires underneath

The problem with the square coils is the dang output it way up on top of the coil.
