New wires. Accel 300+ or MSD?

I'm getting some new wires as the Taylors that I have have been smoking a little due to them being a litle too close to the headers (SLPs with AIR tubes). I'm thinking of either MSD heli-core or superconductors, or Accel 300+. They have to be a spiral wound and not solid core as I'm running aftermarket ignition. Are the Accel 300+ wires spiral? My summit mag doesn't say.

Also, which would you say is the best of the 2?

Thanks for the time

Robert

Yes, 300+ wires are EMI/RFI suppressant.

As far as which is better....hard to say. A lot of people will swear by both. The cheaper Accel wires suck...but the 300+'s are probably good. I run the MSD Superconductors personally.

I have the MSD. I like them because I have headers and I haven't burnt one yet. The accel's could be the same way though. I've never used them.

What is the P# for the wires you're running and do you run them under or over the headers?

Thanks

I'm not real sure what the part number is. I have them ran under and over the headers(mostly under).
