I run the custom looms that Summit has.They bolt along side the VC and keep the wires up from the headers.Mine have been on for about 20 years and no problems.I believe they are R&Ms.Rocky

I might drill mine for 10 MM wires.I havent decided if Ill go 10 or stick with 8s when I change them.After 15 years mine are looking tacky.Still work great.I wonder if they will warrant them as they carry a lifetime warranty.Ive never had to replace a set of them yet.Taylor makes some great wires.Rocky

why on earth would you put 10mm wires on a car, unless it was an all out race car. IMHO it would look bad, not to mention be a pain to get them around some headers.
the BLING factor of course  and you're right, getting them around headers would be a pain! i'm quite happy with 8's.

I used Accel, MSD, Firecore, Taylor,
Best fit and best BOOT were Firecores for sure.
And they are easy to get in Canada too.

I always thought the less resistance the better (solid wire cores) but people have stated that it ain't as simple as that & also I've seen that Firecore wires get regular rave reviews on here. I'm not convinced. EDIT They ain't cheap tho
While your mind is already up:
Here-try some real world product testimony.
On every car [4] that was already well tuned - the Fircore wires made each run significantly better. Period.
In fact the idle in each car picked up 30-50 rpm just with the new wires and i had to revisit the tune up on each one. A digital tach is a valuable tuning device...The overall performance also improved as well-two of these well tuned cars cars were flogged on a road course and the wires made a noticeable difference that you can hear in the way the engine runs!!. Those same 2 cars had msd wire sets that ohmed out just like the firecores, but the firecores made a visible difference. OK then? This is one good example of you get what you pay for.
