I had the Accel kind, but the tips kept coming loose that connect to the plug, and I've heard many others having the same problem. I just use regular length now.

Regular bosch platinums. They are the shortest plug Kragen had, I think the same length as the accels.

I'm another guy using regular Bosch platinums. I'm using the ones specified for stock L98 Corvette heads, with SLP 1 3/4" headers.
