Looking for some new sparkplug wires
I'm in the market for a new set of spark Plug wires. I would like them to be red. Was looking at these, http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_p...=391&catid=108 But are a bit pricy. W bodystore has a set of Taylers, but I've seen other messages saying to stay away from them. What are some other choices?

The ZZP wires you posted are actually made by Taylor also.
The only QUALITY set of wires in red that I'm aware of that I would suggest are MSD. They are quite pricey as well. Jegs or Summit for those. I run them on the Zilla.
I suggest though, that you run the wire of YOUR choice regardless of color, and just use red wire loom on them. Wire loom should be a requirement for all plug wires on 3800'*.

Jegs and Summit just like you just quoted from me.
It should be noted that the larger wires will NOT improve performance. I chose the larger wires simply because of the number of times per season I remove them. I needed durability.

I have not seen these wires in person but would like to try them out.
They're hand made in Canada.
They're Red 8.5mm
They are reasonably priced......only $59cdn for a 2k+
Great warranty and customer service.
You can call them up and ask for just 1 wire if you should damage one.

Pdad, something looks suspicious about those. Markings are very similar and that'* the EXACT font Taylor uses.
Odds are very good that Aurora is buying bulk OEM Taylor wire with their own brand printed on them.
EXACT same font and very similar use of caps. It may pay to call them and ask, but I doubt they'll tell you.

These are an excellent wire and under $100.
The red MSD wires are a poor choice for the car. The low resistance causes issues with the ignition control module that create a weaker spark.
