Agrees the wires are arcing which means they are bad. Tousley ford on here has motorsport wire for like 45 shipped which is rediculous

Ive heard otherwise to they said some high performance wires do that? its idleing fine and not missing

Yea, your probably right! The REALLY good wires send 92.3% of the spark to your hand. They only need the other 7.7% to actually send voltage to the spark plugs. :rolleyes:

If a wire is shocking you its not doing its job correctly, high performance or not. Get some Ford wires, best ones I've ever owned.

just replaced mine with FRPP 9mm wires and LOVE them. better fuel mileage, better idle, and just damn well runs better. Also switched from those irridium wastes of money to motorcrafts platinums.
