Plug wires question

I have a quick question, i cant really get a good look at the plug wire boots, are they all 90 degree boots? are there any straight boots? I saw a set of Accel 8.8mm extreme temp wires on ebay for like $30 new, it says that it will fit the 5.7L, i just wanted to check before i order them.

If you have headers the 90 deg boots are needed. if you are stock any good 8mm wires will work.

Will 8mm wire work with headers than. I bought some for mine and I did not think of the headers at the time I got them custom. They came with two straight boots too but they go on the right side front plugs. The wires fit fine with the headers but will they hold up?

Stock wires are 6mm so the 8mm are a upgrade. Also they will hold up with headers if the wires or boots don't touch the headers. Iam using LT-1 metal boot covers on mine for added protection with my SLP 1 3/4 headers.
