AC Delco stock replacement wires. No real advantage of going with something else.

MSD. Suppose to have lower resistance and they hold up well. I searched wires for awhile before I got them (I was kinda board) and found that either MSD superconductor or the more expensive Taylor wires work well. (the cheaper taylor wires have a tendency to tear) Besides, the MSD's are red, that has GOT to add power, right??

I use the Taylors no issues very tough wire they don't pull apart like the stockers I have see the MSD's they look nice it is all about preference. A/C delco has some performace replacements that look very good to.

I run the Taylor Thundervolts. They have great heat protection and are a overal nice wire. I've had them for a couple of years and they still look new.

I am now running the MSD's. I had Taylors on the car, but no matter what I did, I kept tearing them off the plugs. This last time I didn't have a choice and got this set from a friend.

I've used the MSD's and both Taylors. They all look nice, and I haven't had a problem with one of either style. If you're looking for performance, put the cash towards something else. They're too short to really make any difference. I guess if yours were old, and you could get a good deal on an after-market set it could make sense. But, factory replacements are really the way to go unless you're just looking for show. Hey, it rimes, I'm a natural...
