I am currently using them, I did use taylor up til I got fed up with being sold bad plug wires. Anyway haven't had any issues with them yet and they have held up with the heat.

why'd you change up to the Taylors Dave? any problems with the ATRs or just tryin something new?
iv always ran MSD on my other truck with the Whipple s/c with no problems but it has less heat issues (i think) soo just looking for the best avalible set for the turbo...the ATRs look good...and i have to think ATR knows these truck quite well...

Ya don't have to yell.. It's just plug wires 
Why do you think they are better? Not challenging your opinion just curious about your reasons. Convince me the Taylors are better. They are cless expensive than the MSD 8.5.
The MSD 8.5 has the lowest resistance of any wire I've tested. So far they are surviving the heat.

I have atr's on my truck right now, but after a year of being on the truck the pass side ones are starting to look burnt up and not so flexable anymore,but they still work fine. I have a set of msd with ther sleave kit that I am going to put back on. No matter which wires are run extra heat shielding needs to be used, we are building alot more heat than a chev 350, ya know.

I can't say the Taylors are bad - however I had the ATR's on for a year with great luck.
The main reason I changed from ATR to Taylors - well they needed to be changed. I wanted something different. The price was nice.
Another guy from Chitown - Brandon - had a set of Taylors that the physical wire itself was INSIDE the boot kinda hard to describe. You could not get it on a plug - even a plug that wasn't in the truck It took a lot of swearing and cursing and throwing and punching and a lot of "Why won't that damned wire go on?" Finally I looked inside...
Quality control is lacking. Others have bitched about bad wires. I'm yet to hear anything bad of ATR's.

I have ATR's and they're ok but, they arc slightly even being ran the factory route. Had to put plastic loom wrap on them to break connection where it was arcing. LOL

as far as price both taylor and msd sell as 8 so they are expensive, including the wrap for the taylors your looking to spend a pretty penny when compard to another wire w out. But pertaining to subject i have had less of a problem with the tay's. MSD are a good wire, but when it comes out of the truck 30 miles later and can be cracked by hand...i think thats says something. I tried to utilize the stock placing for the wires and still no good luck, the msd arched and did just about everything wrong, since the tay's, no problemas!

Damn thats the funniest thing you've said (except for "they landed in a soybean?" LOL)TYPHOOL7 said:
I also have run about 5-6 sets of Taylors on three different vehicles and haven't had any problems. I did have to buy the Taylor Plug Boot Removal tool TAY-43392 $11.39 to keep from pulling the wires metal clip inside, from out of the plug boot. (BTW Best $12 I ever spent, if you don't have one, GET ONE)
What kind of problems are you guys having that hate the Taylor wires so much? And what is the Summit part number for the MSDs? In all my years I've never seen anyone post where to get the MSD wires. I have seen the Taylor numbers posted so many times I nearly have them memorized by color. BTW the Taylors are always $32.99 at Summit. Finally Mark Christofferson is convinced that if you buy the cheapest no-name, no-warranty-having plug wires you can find from AutoZone you'll have the best luck, so maybe that's worth a try too (guess you'd have to ask him).
