What Taylor Cable Products Inc does

Taylor Cable Products Inc is a US-based automotive aftermarket manufacturer founded in 1923 and headquartered in Grandview. It operates as a subsidiary brand under PerTronix Performance Brands, which is itself part of The Aeromotive Group. The company specializes in high-performance ignition and electrical components, with a core product portfolio centered on spark plug wire sets and a growing battery management line.

The product offering is organized into multiple resistance-specific spark plug wire series, including 8mm Spiro-Pro (350 Ohms), 8.2mm Thundervolt (40 Ohms), 8mm StreetThunder (500 Ohms), 8mm High Energy (5000 Ohms for OE replacement), 8mm Resistor Core Pro (3500 Ohms), 8mm MagX2 (500 Ohms), 8mm Tinned Copper Pro (0 Ohms for drag/circle track), and 10.4mm 409 Series (350 Ohms for high-heat applications), plus the 8mm JBA PowerCables line.

The customer base is fragmented across hot rod builders, muscle car restorers, professional and semi-professional racing teams, and late-model street vehicle owners.
