The wires on these cars are short enough that most wires work well. I've had good lucky with MSD's and GMPP.

I wouldn't bother replacing the stock wires unless they are damaged and need to be replaced.

If you do need new wires, I agree than the MSDs are good.

agreed. I went with the 10.4mm Taylor .409 RACE WIRES but only because I like the way they look. I didn't notice any improvement in performance over the stockers.

I have the Taylor Thundervolt 50s. I bought them because they aren't red, yellow, or some other stupid color.

I replaced mine when I rebuilt the motor, because Thunder Racing was having a sale.
I put on the Taylors and didnt see any improvements over stock.

Don't expect any perf. difference. But from my experience the taylor wires have stood the test of time. I am running taylor thundervolt 50s right now and have had no trouble with them. With wires this thick (10.4mm) you shouldn't have to worry about any problems, as in the heat.
