FI guys what kind of spark plug wires are you using?
i should replace my wires cause there mighty old, but i'm not sure what brand to buy. ( i did a search didnt find anything...). Anyone using good aftermarket and do you see a difference? i'm running a rev hard kit at 8 psi.

Re: FI guys what kind of spark plug wires are you using? (DRAGLS)
bad experience with the blue NGKs, my they kept coming off the plugs or cap, one time I was at a red light and said to my copilot that the car was on three cyl's so I popped the hood and he went to check it out, #3 was right off and arking to my intake pipe, he grabbed it wothout thinking and replaced to #3 cyl, he got a very bad shock compliments of a MSD 7Al and HVC coil, he said he couldnt jerk off for a week it was so numb. I even use wire looms to help support the wires, theyare just crap.

I've first been through Magnecors, they sure do suck ****. The boots would often fall off and the snug fit on the spark plugs would loosen over time. I'm quite happy with my MSDs, they're more snug and tighter than I thought.

I've used magnecor, ngk, neuspeed, and a host of others.
The conclusion? Stock works the best, fits the best, lasts the longest, and none of them made a measurable difference over stock on the dyno.
Rado uses stock spark plug wires
What more do YOU need?

Re: FI guys what kind of spark plug wires are you using? (VTC_CiViC)
i like my VITEK wires. 
had two sets for both my cars.. never had a problem. sent my old set in because the boot came off the wire.. and they replaced it with a brand new set. they have excellent customer service.
i thought magnecores and ngks were good?
MSD is known for good quality wires as well. stock is good as well.. but i think its mainly made for "stock" power.

Yeah, my NGK are fine. Higher resistance than some. MSD are the best though. Or you could waste your mone on those Nology wires. Do they even make those anymore. I would not say stock are the best, that's rediculous, but they are probably better than Ractive or whatever.
Oh yeah, and if you check out the Magnecor you will see they are some of the worst performing wires available. But at least they cost more than most others!
