Did you put your headers on with studs or bolts? Do you use 90* or straight boot plug wires, and which wires?

Thanks

 

use 90°, strait WILL NOT FIT, i learned this when two of my wires melted, i dunno which ones im going to order, and i used bolts

I used Stage 8 locking header bolts and 90degree MSD 8mm Heli-Core. I also used the Made For You centerbolt wire loops and some zip ties to help route the wires around the headers, they work great and it looks cool too,hope this helps.

I made the same mistake as you, don't use zip ties, when the wires touch you can get crossfires, this can be bad especially if the #5 and 7 wires, since they fire right after each other. You'll have to get 90* and don't be cheap, order wire looms, I didn't until I burnt 3 wires. Get MSD SuperConductor 8.5 mm wires, I've heard they're among the best.

You can use Zip Ties you just have to do it right. You put one tie around the two wires and another around that zip tie between those two wires. The second zip tie holds the two wires apart. Sorry i can't find any pics.
