    Trying to get things I need for the Supercharged motor to be ready for the spring thrash. Motor currently has a MSD HVCII coil,planning on a MSD distributor(8517) Kinda like the Super conductor 8.5 or the Taylor 10.4's What boots work best with Stage 2 heads? Straight or angled??

    I used 135 degree with Stage2 SE and 2" headers.

    Taylor is a better wire imo,..the thunder volt 10.4s in the 135° are a perfect choice

    Look into the Aussie made "ICE" distributor

    You don't need anything more than the 73053 8mm Taylor wires, unless your running a 40Amp mag or something..

    Big fat plug wires are a pain to loom and deal with..

    I have the MSD 8.5 wires on my 400. I just bent the spark plug connectors/boots to whatever angle I needed.

    To who?? ... me and my dyno guy see those, and we just roll our eyes...

    "Ya, you need those..". :rolleyes:

    Those big wires were developed for Top Alky and the nitro cars, running 44amp mags..

    I used to like the MSD wires, but the insulation tends to break down faster on them.. especially the boots.. seen that a few times.
