I assume by "mine" you mean your plug wires.  Someone once told me 
that the reason for using those little plastic spacers to hold the 
plug wires apart was to avoid cross-induction between them.  I would 
have thought maybe that meant spark jumping across the insulation of 
two wires touching each other.  If induction is a problem then you've 
got a really powerful coil, and if direct transmission is a problem 
then it's time to change wires.  If either case is possible, and I'm 
not convinced it is likely, it argues against braiding the wires 
together.  Maybe your experience suggests it isn't a problem.
