Get your headers ceramic coated. Looks great, and works awesome. I had the ceramic coated Pacesetters and they looked far superior to a 'dick in a box'.

As far as your wires, you really shouldn't need to use heat-protective wire boots. Just run your wires a little bit tighter so they aren't touching the headers at all. Strategic black zip ties, if you must.
agreed

agreed, mine also not looking like a dick in a box

agreed.. Mine werent far off, but ill have to check them in a couple weeks after a year.

OMFG, it was just a thought. I already decided like 10 posts ago I wasn't doing the wrap stuff. Sorry I even said anything.

But yah, Elitesparkplugs.com is still not working for me. I dont know what I'm going to do.

I just bought some new wires. I might do the OTVC route some other time. I just need Epic running right for now. If i roast another set of wires, so be it. *sighs*

Hey, I'm just trying to help, don't start PMSing. I just don't want Epic's engine bay to look like something out of some lame *** 50s mummy horror movie, then catch fire and look like it fell out of Independence Day.

And I thought women were moody.

Just take some time and route them as best you can- if you zip tie them strategically you should be able to at least reduce the odds of them touching something and burning out.
