Moroso Blue Max Plug Wires

I'm getting the custom fit Moroso Blue Max plug wires for my 355 that I'm FINALLY getting ready to start!! I need opinions from anyone who has ever used these wires about how good (or not so good) they are!! Most nascar race cars have all MSD except plug wires and they use the Moroso Blue Max so I'm thinking these will go great with my MSD blaster II coil and MSD 6-AL box!!

4 Wheel Discs
9 bolt Borg Warner Rear (2.73's....oh joy) :P
Completely Stock
Soon to upgrade to a 350 converted from TPI to Carb, Edelbrock 750CFM Carb, Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake, Headman Shorty Headers, Some sort of ported heads (undecided), XE268 Cam, Moroso HEI ignition kit with external MSD Blaster II Coil and an MSD 6-AL Box!!
Current project: Keeping my 305 running until I get my income tax returns!

I use Blue Max on lots of cars. High resistance per foot (= good for radio/ECU) but the quality of the wire/boots is great as is longevity. Great bang for the buck. Just make sure your splice areas are PERFECT!!!

If you can afford it, go with Jacobs man. They resist 2000 degrees. Nice insurance if a wire ever hits a header. They're kind of pricey but I think they're worth it

Ede....I know MSD is good stuff but I've heard that the boots on the MSD's wires suck and they melt really easily with headers!!
