Spark Plug Wires
Hi Guys,
I have been following the forum for quite some time for info on this, and have come up with inconclusive answers.
Long stock wires vs. ThunderVolt Shorties Taylor #79210.
Some of you say long wires for the after burn plug and some talk about the Shorties and a simultaneous firing of the plug like the 2006 models.
Which is best?
Can someone give me the pro’s and con’s of each, your choice and why?
I own a 2005 QC Ram 1500 Hemi.
Thanks, Big Red

Most likely the plugs are not fired simultaneously in the later models. More likely the computer fires the plugs in the same order, just the coil-packs fire the plugs when the computer says to.
Some folks have mis-fires when cold using shorties. I used stock-length 8.5mm MSD wires on mine. Shorties make it neater, but I'll stick with the stock configuration.
