well, I can say talor wires are very good quality! everyone that I know who has used them like them better than most other brands. they seem to hold up to the under hood temps very well. (my old set were over 6 years old and still perfect even ohmed perfect) until I burned them on my headers but, for a set to last that long has to say something.

For a factory motor, there's nothing wrong with a factory replacement.

If you want aftermarket, the aforementioned are all used and generally liked. I currently use the Moroso Ultra 40's on my engine. Haven't run it long enough to burn anything or whatnot, though.

I'm going with the MSD 8.8mm wires when I get the money. I've read many good reviews of them.

I've made my purchase

I've decided to go with the Taylor ThunderVolt 8.2 Spark Plug Wires. At $62.64(S&H included), their about $40 bucks more than I would pay for OEM replacement's! I personally think 7mm is to thin with all the heat from the Redbird! I have just about ruled out making a monthly payment. I would rather put 5 or 6k in my Redbird.
Besides, my Bride has a new crewcab truck, incase I have the need for a truck!
Thank's for all the imput guy's!
