Default Are the stock spark plug wires good?

Does anyone know if the stock plug wires are suffecient for a bolt on car? I know on hondas the stock ones are actually prefered over many "tuner" brands all the way up to over 500hp.

I dont want to spend $ on something i dont need.

Does anyone have substantial proof that aftermarket wires are benefecial, and if so which ones?

If you are in doubt, get a new set of stockers and forget about it.

The stockers are good, unless you've got 80,000+ on them, and then they start to disolve.

Cool. Sounds like ill be keeping my stockers unless they start to deteriorate. The MSD or Taylors will probably be cheaper than new stockers from the dealer.
