Default Hi performance plug wires

Well after driving my truck some my BWD plug wires can't take the heat.

So i've been lookin for some better ones. I want to upgrade to 8mm but idk which brand is better with our trucks and idk if they can take the heat. So which brand is best for my need JBA, MSD, Aceel?

i have taylor 8.2's on mine. they make some of the best plug wires in my opinion. the msd ones are probably pretty good too.

I got accel extream 9000 on mine. These are high heat 8mm wires. You can tuch the wires to the headers and not have them melt. They are great. A little pricy but I burnt up my old wires within a week. And they went tuching the headers. These have lasted 3-4years now.

I think then I will try out the taylor's 8.2's they even make a 10mm but I think thats way to big. Id like to try these plug wires from taylor but little expensive but probley worth it cause its stainless steel.
