Taylor Vertex '409' wires measure 10.5 mm and are available from SummitRacing among other places. For my '96, I bought a set for a V8, then added 2 'replacement' wires; had to cut some wires to the correct length and installed coil ends onto each wire. Real nice once completed. I had already burned through the stock wires and a set of so-called hi-temp Mopar wires due to the fit of the Borla headers. The Taylors work and fit perfect.

Magnecor makes an R-100 10mm wire set for the viper which doesn't require cutting or crimping. The wires are red. I think cost was around $150.
With the large wires you need to either open up the stock wire looms or go to custom. I reamed my stock ones out. They have some interesting info on their website:

JonB @ partsrack carries them. I have them and snake socks. No problem here.
I think they are around 180.00
In the Magnecor website you can note that the 10mm and 8.5m wires use the same inner core.
"Magnecor's KV85 Competition (8.5mm) and R-100 Racing (10mm) Ignition Cables feature Magnecor's exclusive 2.5mm high capacity Metallic Inductance EMI Suppressed conductor consisting of stainless steel wire precisely wound at 200 turns per inch over a ferrimagnetic core. The insulating jacket is made entirely of Magnecor's exclusive TC-1500-HS high strength aerospace grade silicone rubber, and its single layer construction will prolong the jacket's insulating ability by conducting extreme heat away from hot-spots that occur near over-the-limit heat sources.."
It's just the insulating ability that's different between the two..
" The KV85 8.5mm jacket has a service heat resistance of 600 degrees F (320 degrees C) and up to 1,000 degrees F (540 degrees C) for short burst 3 minutes. The R-100 10mm jacket has a service heat resistance of 700 degrees F (380 degrees C) and up to 1,200 degrees F (650 degrees C) for short burst 3 minutes. Even if limits are exceeded, the silicone rubber will retain its insulating ability until wires are removed from engine."
But evidently the 10mm are a fair amount of $$ more, and require some time to modify the OEM wire holders.
