So installed some GMPP 8mm wires.
I tossed out the heatshield that came with the stockers.

Should I have kept them? I did notice that they did fit the boot of the GMPP ones. I'm concerned the boots might get fried by the headers now.

I have searched and it seems it is OK to not use them on aftermarket ones. I was just wondering about how critical they were with GM wires.

TIA

i have had my stock wires on my car for well over 10k miles with the LT's and no heatshield on the boot of the plug wire..(haven't had a problem yet) when i bought my car there were none on it either.. but thats when it was stock...

There should be no issue, ive never had heat shields on my MSd wires and they are fine.

Wouldn't hurt to have them....

As long as they aren't resting on the header it should be fine. When I had an MSD resting on the header it burned up within 2 weeks without a heat shield.

I couldn't use them with my Taylors, and they are still going strong.
