Review on πŸ”Œ ACCEL 5056B Spark Plug Wires - 8mm Super Stock Spiral Custom Build by Jon Dugan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cost: Cables

I first replaced my cables with a cable set from Bosch and within two years I had crossfire problems. Eventually, my number 2 cylinder started flexing through the spark plug boot onto the manifold heat shield, which also caused it to misfire. I definitely wouldn't buy Bosch wires again so I settled on this set of Accel wires. The cost was definitely higher than the Bosch ones I bought, but I think they're worth it. First you get 11 wires - one for each cylinder, one spare, and two coil wires depending on whether you have an OEM coil or an aftermarket coil. You also get dielectric grease and some wire spacers if you need them. In general, a complete, thoughtful set of cables, in my opinion. The best part was when I started my truck afterwards. I felt the difference as soon as I pulled it out of the garage. The crossfire issues are gone, there was no arcing and it runs as smooth as can be. I also put on an accel cap and rotor at the same time, but only because I'm so anal. All the problems at launch were in the wires. The only question is how long will they last, but I expect good durability as well as the performance I'm getting so far. In general I am satisfied.

Cons
