You would be one of the few who did not have a Taylor wire fall apart. For the most part they are junk.
Here is a link to the best deal on the planet for MSD and NGK

I run a lot of boost and need my ignition system to be functioning at the max to prevent misfires. I have had trouble with the MSD's. I bought a second set and when I have trouble, I meter the wires and replace the high one. They typically meter 25-29 ohms and the bad ones will be 80+. GM Performance Parts makes the best wires in my opinion. I love the Taylor boots and connections, but don't have any experience with them on this car.

Iridium last longer and changing them is no joy. It a money call although some will say the iridiums perform better and lead to better gas mileage. I've yet to see that confirmed
Also MSD has the lowest resistance for a helio coil wire not Taylor and Taylors are junk to being with. I can say that from experience with many hours with both of them. Taylor terminals are the cheapest in the business and they break all the time. Their boots are obnoxiously large, you don't need a huge boot to protect against heat it's all in the material choice. The MSD is multi-angle and can be manipulated away from the header the Taylor is not and only burns against the header. I've repaired Taylor and Morosso wires using MSD terminals and boots. I only offer MSD for a reason.

I just did my header install two weeks ago I also did plugs and wires. I had Taylor wires and I agree they are junk. I broke two just pulling them off. MSD ftw and I also recomend iridium plugs they just perform better and last longer... As far as getting those back two good luck lol take the coils off and squeeze down in there lol takes some patience but its not that bad...

you also might want to look into a little hotter 02 sensor. the z06 vette sensor works great and comes with a wire long enough that you wont need an extensionn

That I'd like to see considering that is below dealer costs. Were they MSD 8.5mm Superconductors?
The cheapest I have ever seen the combination I offer for $68 is $89 delivered from Summit.
** Thx for the link,. I still offer a better deal on the combination of wires and plugs but that is close
