I did upgrade the plugs since the stockers needed to be replaced after 85k, and I was changing headers.. but I hear the GM wires are just fine. Would I notice ANY difference at all upgrading them from stock wires? Or just wait til one becomes a problem to upgrade? or hell, even replace with new stockers?

thats a good question but i think that in the long run upgrading your wires will help you as you start to get heavy in the mods

If the wires NEED replacing, then aftermarket ones are a viable choice. However, there are plenty of guys (myself included) that are making well in excess of 500rwhp with the stockers...

There's no need to replace them unless they are failing. You won't gain power like some tend to think.

That's kind of what I thought.

They will not net you anymore horsepower, but are a good thing to do if you NEED to replace the stockers.

great post man and a great question i was beginning to wonder this myself,

IMO...complete waste of cash. I had Taylor 10.4's on mine (which didn't make the engine run any better to begin with) and when I went to do a spark plug change one day 5 or 6 of them broke while pulling them off (and yes I pulled them off properly). So luckily I had kept my stock wires, I put them on and there is ABSOLUTELY 100% ZERO difference on my big stroker engine as far as performance.

Unless you're going huge power, they are useless.

Yea, MSD's are real nice, with all the modding your going to be doing, this is a great place to start.

More of an appearance mod at first. MSD's all the way. Taylor seems to make a shitty plug wire.
