plug wires 5 & 6 are getting toasted by the headers. what can i do to fix this? my buddy bought plug wires called full metal jackets but a set is $170 i think. little steep for me but they work. does anyone else run stock wires with headers? or did anyone else have this issue and how did they correct it? thanks

Get a set of wire clips that go over the valve covers and then drop the wires in from the top. That's how we ran them on Mike's (2000Durahoe) 93 Camaro.Originally posted by MunsterZ28 View Post2005 Yamaha R6

He bought a kit. Was through SLPonline I think. I don't know if you can reuse stock wires or not. I know he used aftermarket ones that were in the kit.Originally posted by MunsterZ28 View Post2005 Yamaha R6

Try using Taylor's fire sleeve boot protectors with the OTVC wire route. Used this method on my car and seems to work great! The boots protect up to 1200 degress and are available through Thunder Racing.sigpic1994 Camaro Z28 83K M6, CAI, AFR 190cc, 11.6:1, Hooker headers, Hooker ORY, Mangnaflow exhaust, AI 230/238, 1.6 RR, B&M Short throw, Hays clutch, 4.10 gear.

Do not use otvc wires - you have been warnedComment

Run what ever type of wire that you want.
The key is to route them correctly. I have run stock wires in the stock location on my LT1 with headers and have never had a problem with them.97 30th anv Z28 Lt1 Ported Heads and Intake, small Cam, LT's, SLP LM1 w/power flow conversion and cut out, Stalled A4, 3.73, 125 shot or so.........

they wont help considering its the boot that is getting cooked.Originally posted by ThreeHonks View Post
its hard to reroute where the boot meets the plug. i wrapped them some new wires in old school high temp tape and put those stock metal 90 degree elbows on the boot to try and deflect as much heat as possible.Originally posted by gary@evi View Postwishing i could drive like joe and the atm squadComment

Could you provide a few more details to your statement rather then "shouting" with huge font? Why not to use them for example.The Chevy Camaro was built with a single purpose in mind which it executes flawlessly...Going very very fast in a straight line until your hair catches on fire.
