Hi Steve,
What type of ignition system do you have and where is everything located?

The output wires to the coils should run in a different direction to any other wires, do not have them in the same wiring loom as any signal wires for anything else. Shielding would probably be helpful but I do not think completely necessary, the +/- to each coil should be individually twisted as a pair.

Hey,
I run much the same setup to the coils. The wires do not need to be shielded just twisted pair and in a separate loom and you will be fine. Keep the earth loom to the cdi's as short as possible.
