id probably go with msd wires but i agree with adder, f*ck a package. packages are for stupid people who cant pick out their own parts and usually consist of a couple good parts and one or more crappy parts thrown in to make you think your getting a deal

the ford racing wires have a lower resistance than the MSD wires.... which is the main reason I run them

Make sure you get plug wires with angled boots. I used MSD superconducters that have straight boots... my shorties melted one of the boots.

Until I feel like spending some cash on some angled boots I am running 7/8 after market wires and one stock wire.
