Spark plug wires. Any preference?
Sorry to be asking this rhetorical question but it's that time to replace my spark plug wires. Upon inspection of my Taylor 8 mm's I see a couple have been singed, frayed, or slightly cut. I've been getting the dreaded engine stumble / cut-out at high rpm lately when I drive it on occasion. At this point I'm parking it before I do any damage.
I've been asking for people's opinions and it's been a mixed bowl. Many people have simply been saying to go with the AC Delco's.
I need something for both performance, reliability, and longevity.
I've heard some bad stories about the Taylor's (and they also cost a pretty penny).
Does AC Delco provide a high performance set of wires and if so what's the model / model #?
I figure it's gonna cost me at least $150 + (Cdn) so I need to make an informed decision. Thanks for any opinion.

I was told if you buy wires designed for a Corvette, they are 8mm instead of the 7mm our cars came with. Can get them at any parts store.
I run MSD 8.5mm on my car though. Got em in a trade and decided to use them. I have no complaints so far.
