Taylor shortie plug wires?
Whats the scoop on the Taylor shorties spark plug wires? Are they good? Im looking into redoing my spark plugs and wires. Any suggestions?

I put some on about a month ago and noticed no performance gain. I actually read on ********* that they take away about 1HP. I bought them to get rid of all of those ugly wires runing acoss the intake and because they look bada$$. They did make my truck idle smoother hough but with 57000 on the original plug wires, just the plug wires being new may have been the cause. I would say get them bc theyre easier to install (done both btw) and they look awesome. The butt dyno showed no loss in power at all.....

I'd get them if I had an 05 and under hemi....the wires make the ignition kind of like the 06+ hemi's and 6.1's.

"performance" plug wires only make a difference in high revving hp conditions. Then, you would need a coil pack of equal or greater performance for the wires to even make any difference.
They may look good and probably last a little longer and cost twice as much, but will do nothing for gains.

My truck ran better with them on, but then even better with new plugs.
