In my experience, I have found Magnecor to be the best for my T2. I have also used the NGK factory-type wires but they tend to wear a bit faster than the Magnecor (at least so far). Shop around, I have seen them online priced from $40-75 depending on the size wire (8.5mm or 10mm). If you plan on running them on a street car, make sure you get the type with the added noise suppresion insulation.

I run the Accel 300+ Plug cords. Got them for a V8 so for 70 bux I got two sets of cords.

I have had RB Ultra Hot Wires for a month now. I was quite amazed on the quality and emphasis placed on the boots. Anything Racing Beat Is In my Opinion top notch.
Prior to this I had Magnecor 10 mm. This was the only "tune up" part I did not replace on my FC In my 3 yrs. I owned It. Recently I had noticed the damn boots slipping of the Coil Packs. I tripped out when I noticed major stumbling and to pop the hood and only to find the damn boots have fallen off - again and again (I ended up having to cable tie these suckers in place)

! I don't know, maybe the Magnecors was the **** when brand new but I wouldn't change them for my Ultras!

Thumbs up

I've got the 10 MM Magnecor's on mine for about 4 months and have had no problems. High quality Stuff. The boots are snug so you will need to "burp'em" on the coils, but once on correctly they won't budge.

And they look kick *** under the hood!

I run Magnecore 8mm.

I like them. For the 30 minutes or so I've had the engine running anyway

the factory wires and the best wires you can get. If anyone has seen how smooth my dyno curve was, thats a big reason why.
