I have msd wires on mine, I don't regret getting them. Peace of mind, as riddler said. Now if I can just figure out what to do cause one of their rubber boots is getting melted by my headers!

The boot is actually pressing against the header. I hadn't noticed it before, but it is. There's a small spot where it looks like it singed the boot, but it hasn't become melted just yet. It has the stock heat shields on it.
The guy that tuned it didn't say anything about it. I may just be able to bend the heat shield a bit to direct it away. I'll know more when I get home from work.

My stock wires with 12,000 miles on them had .725 thousandths ohms of resistence compared to my MSD's with only .025 thousandths. You will get a better spark obviously but don't look for any SOTP major *** kicking power return.
