Header / Plug wires - Ayone experience meltdown?

Just wondering if I am going to need any special wire looms or insulation.

I am running SLP 1 3/4" headers...

I bought a set of wire looms and i've got my wires set up nicely. I don't have a problem with any of them, but i would recommend a set of looms. If i didn't have them i would be burning a couple of wires i'm sure.

I rerouted over the top with wire looms. I also bought a set of Accel hi-temp wires with 90 degree ends. Accel also makes peanut plugs which are about 1/2" shorter.

Watch out for clearence on your starter wires, fan switch, knock sensor, temp sender, speedo cable and brake lines. I melted my speedo cable.

My passenger side front tire rubs on the Y pipe when the wheel is turned hard right.

Some are faster but mine's fast enough.
