Best sensor wire?
 
Can anyone recommend a good sensor wire? Im running an RX8 with a 4600kv in an SCTE 2.0 and feel like I need a new one every race day. I currently use the TQ wire but half way thru the race if I pump the throttle around corners, it just cuts out. Any recommendations? I was thinking of trying the orion r10 but I kinda like the rx8 in my truck.

Have you actually checked the wire to see what is going wrong with it (ie damage to the wire itself, damage to the connector, etc)

I have been running the same sensor wire in my 8t 2.0 with the RX8 combo and am on the original wire still....

If you find that it is the sensor wire giving you problems I feel the novak and viper have the best sensor wires. The TQ wire I would replace every 2 weeks as they would pull out of the plug. I tried to shoe goo it but still didn't help.

nothing physically wrong with the wire but when I replace it, the car seems to act normal. I don't know what else it could be.
