First set is a custom set of Taylor thundervolt wires these are the thinnest with respect to jacket. But they have fiberglass sleeves on them as well. When ohmed they come up at 26 ohms when tested.

Second set is a pair that were made by Scott they have a thick fiberglass sheath as well as fiberglass sock as well. These ohmed at 21 ohms when tested.

Third set is the new ones i just got they are made with Moroso Ultra 40 race 8.63 wire. They have similar thick fiberglass jacket like the scotts but they dont use a sock since they have these awesome 2000 degree ceramic boots by the headers. But they ohm at 31 average.

Car is a fbo with H/C/I makes over 560 wheel and just wanting to know which yould use and why. Im leaning towards the ceramic boot ultra 40s since one of the best wires made. But dont know if it having the highest ohms ill be leaving anything on the table by not using the Scotts since they have the lowest.

Thoughts thanks
Zero power difference between the three plug wires you mentioned. If the wire transmits the power needed to properly light off the fuel & air charge, then you’re good. No need to overthink it. Now quality, heat resistance, etc…there can definitely be a difference between brands and it’s worth getting the highest quality wire you can.
