Do I need 135 degree boots or 90 degree, with a big block chevy ?
 
Have headers, but didn't know if bbc's had the wires under the headers or over or what? straight boots seem to want to rub my header tubes..........

Depends on the header you are running i'd bet mostly. I got a mix of straight. 30deg and 90 deg. I also found bought a set of sleeves for them cuz i dont want them burning up any more!

I have MSD wires on mine and they are straight,but they are slightly bendable,i have 100% no problems,no mix and match.they were about $60

I,m running Dyna-max headers and ready to buy wires. I thought about using 90 deg. boots and running them behind the headers for a neater look. Has anybody seen this done?

I'm running Dynamax with all wires straight in the stock position.
