The issue that you are dealing with is that no vendor can predict what every customer feels is right with so many different combinations of parts out there. What my be right for one guy may not be what another wants. You will get exactly what you want if you take some time and measure exact routing that looks perfect to you. Take some rope or whatever... and some tie wraps. Lay them out like they are the wires with the routing that you want, then measure each one. Give him those lengths with the ends you want, and you will have perfect wires. If you aren't willing to do that, then it will be hit or miss on finding what you need. No vendor wants to ship parts back and fourth and then get bashed. He would rather be sure you are getting what you need.
You will be much happier with the end results if you put some effort into it.

Not saying that it's ok for a vendor to blow you off, but you are really asking a question that is purely personal preference and really is outside of a vendors responsibilities. If he gives direction on something like that, and a wire burns, he may feel he would get into a warranty claim for something he shouldn't be responsible for, so I sort of get it. With that said however, I try to make a point of always going back to vendors that help out. My list of Guys that have given me great support and I will always go back to: -Calvert -Cass at Dr Diff -Paul Forte at Turbo Action

If the plugs went through the valve covers, you wouldn't have these kinds of problems just sayn!

Part of me understands and part of me says its a easy to figure out yourself if you have the motor in and headers on. Yeah, this is pretty basic stuff, but also not easy to answer if you're not standing there looking at it. Personal preference, front accessories, etc, all matter. Don't know on your set, but pre-terminated wires are usually made for a specific installation. Over the valve cover, under the header, etc. "make my own so I can run them where-ever I want to." This is actually the correct answer.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
