Plug Wires

I know I made a thread about this before, but it got deleted...

Im going to be ordering my plug wires now, and I just wanted your guys help as to which you think would be the best choice... Ive done a little reading, I dont know a whole lot about them, but I get the general idea.

Ive narrowed it down to a couple choices, and I dont want to spend more than $50 including shipping (if needed) prefereably. I just want somthing aftermarket, but nothing worth more than the outcome will be.

MSD 8.0mm Heli-Core Wires - 3.8L V6 - $40.00

Taylor 8mm Spiro Pro Ignition Wire Set - 3.8L V6 Camaro/Firebird - $41.02


Lastly, but not preferred... Only if you guys really think its worth $20 more.

MSD 8.5mm SuperConductor Wires - 3.8L V6 Plug-End Boot Style: 90° - $60.50
MSD 8.5mm SuperConductor Wires - 3.8L V6 Plug-End Boot Style: Multi-Angle - $60.00


(Whats the diff between 90* and multi angle btw?)

The page for all the info on them is here if anyone cares: http://www.ftpp.net/V6Main.htm

TIA for the help guys.

Well I was talking to Josh from there, and he said he doenst usually keep Taylor in stock, and it would take a couple weeks to get them + more to ship them.. and i need them by the end of the month. Taylor are the ones I originally wanted... So I looked elsewhere... Do these look like the same ones as on ftpp? http://www.carjunky.com/shop_cj/bdn/...f8edde01c.html

I was looking at my header install sheet the other day, and it recommended getting the 45* angle ones for more clearance... What do you guys think?

I wanted to get the Taylors, they are described as 90*... Do you think Ill be alright?

well first off, 90* is obviously 90*...but the multi angle is straight and can be bended to different angles. only use it for 180* though, i wouldnt trust it bent.

and as for the wait on taylors...i got mine for carmen from thunderracing...only took a week.

but id actually recommend MSD Heli-Core. the taylors, as ive mentioned before, had a tendency to break off on the plugs. my MSDs on my Z didnt have that problem...they did however burn on headers a lot, but not much anyone can do about that, lol.

Well thats why I was asking, should I get 45* angle ones? I think those are the ones that were suggested, because they will give more clearance away from the headers. I just want to get these ordered soon because I NEED them in my possesion within 2 weeks.
