Default wires hitting headers

just got headers put on and some of the spark plug wires and other tubes are hitting the headers. im gonna have to wrap them, so they dont burn. does that header wrap actually increase horsepower as stated?

do you have any wire looms to try and keep them out of the way? insulating them couldnt hurt though.

i've heard to stay away from header wrap... it does keep in the heat which leads to more hp but over time it cause them to rust faster

use spark plug boots and run your wires neater... I have equal length headers and dont have any problems with my wires... its all in how you route them!
