Dude my #5 JBA wire burned up even with a heat wrap sock on it. #7 is still good but I don't know for how long...so far so good.
If you buy a set house brand wires at Autozone the #5 is long enough to wrap around the hump with no problems...dunno about 7 yet.

Mine have been on for my truck for 16+ months so far.
My "temporary" fix is still there, working great. No show truck here, so no worries.
I used a small section of the heat wrap that is used to insulate turbochargers on big construction/industrial equipment. My wires are, and always have been, right against the header tube...
