Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / July 2006Your Recomendation for Spark Plug Wires
I've been using the Ford Motorsport wires. Did some reading and a few sites said the Motorsport wires are far from the best, or even good. I want some wires tailored to fit my application - 5.0. What's your recomendation for a set of wires? Patrick '93 Mustang with every damn option > I've been using the Ford Motorsport wires.

Personally, I recommend getting a decent set of wires and then spend some money on a good high capacity coil and after market ignition box. When researching ignition systems for my car before installing the blower I found spark duration verses rpm rate was an important relationship. The after market ignition boxes actually maintain a pulsed spark for a longer duration at 3,000 rpm and less. This allows for a more complete burn of the fuel and therefore more power, better gas mileage etc. If you want better performance then look into the complete system and not just the wires. I don't think you will get much improvement from a high priced set of wires on an otherwise stock 5.0L ignition system. Just my %0.02 on the matter. > Here's one of things I read. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >>> want some wires tailored to fit my application - 5.0.

Joe, I too have used them for years without any issues. But now that it's replacement time again, I wondered if there was maybe something better out there. I found a few of the aftermarket plug wire manufacturers criticized them (go figure, huh?). One said the price on the Motorsport wires is lower than a lot of plain ol' regular wires, suggesting maybe they're not made with the best materials. However, like a few posters have mentioned I'm really not pushing this car very hard. And I'm really not anymore. Most of my driving is just cruising down the highway. I think I'll look around a little more, but will probably get another set. We'll see. Thank you everyone for input! Patrick You read too much. What problems are the Fords causing you? How do you think your car could be better with different wires? > I've been using the Ford Motorsport wires.

Probably not. But I bet you're not running the engine hard enough to really need the best. For that, you'de need power adders and high rpm's. Otherwise, the Ford wires are just fine. That being said, I like to use MSD wire kits. I like to rout them better than stock so I build my own.
