I’ve had the pleasure of using Accel’s Ceramic booted plug wires on engines on the dyno at Westech and can tell you that these things are capable of handling anything your headers can throw at them. With the ceramic ends, available in multiple configurations for different applications, no hot header tubes are going to melt the boots near the spark plug. We recently did a series of camshaft tests that had us changing 12 LS camshafts in about 12 hours and these plug wires didn’t even flinch at being pulled on and off that many times. And when one plug wire was a bit closer to a primary tube than I normally would like, I had no worry because these things will handle temps in the 2,000 degree range. The ones we used were white, but these new black ones are kick ass and I can’t wait to put them onto our next project.
Here is all the info from Holley and Accel.
Holley is pleased to announce the release of ACCEL Extreme 9000 Black Ceramic Boot Ignition Wire Sets, which withstand temperatures up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Ideal for cramped engine bays and anytime space is tight around red-hot exhausts, they come in in 10 different variations. Three are universal sets compatible with countless applications. They’re available in 90-degree, 135-degree boots, and 180-degree boots. Seven others are available for GM engines, and each is a direct-fit upgrade from stock wires and already cut to factory length. All ACCEL Extreme 9000 8mm wire sets feature ultra-high-temperature double-silicone construction, 500 ohms per foot of resistance, and a special Ferro-spiral core wire developed for high-performance use. They’re rated at 600 degrees, deliver maximum spark energy to the plugs through stainless steel terminals, and provide the highest level of RFI/EMI suppression.
Cleetus needs these for Ruby!
