Spark Plug wires..... What can I say ? That Chevrolet is full of BS. I went to get some Z06 wires for my 02 Camaro SS and I go in there, Go to the parts dept., Ask for them, Guy goes to go get them, He says they are the best wires out there, And then says, $178.......
I said, Bye, Im getting Taylor Thundervolts....for like 80 bucks

Before you buy those thundervolts, slap your dealer and go to not-a-sponsor.com, part number 12495519. $42.51 plus shipping. Says dealer list price is 60.73. Sounds like Haywood Jablowme Chevrolet out there in San Jose is trying to screw you.

I've had bad experiences with MSD wires because when I replaced my ignition system I put on MSD 8.5 wires and within 20 miles I was already having a miss fire, turns out one of the wires dried out and was arching off one of the headers. When I get my car back up and running I'm going to try Taylor wires.

Stock wires are fine. The only reason why I could see someone replacing them is for appearance, doing coil pack reloaction, or if the stock ones fail.
These guys buying aftermarket or even GM upgrade wires for perfect running bolt-on LS1s with 30K miles hoping to see some kind of gain are just wasting money.

I wanted something other than stock mainly for appearance reasons. The red MSDs look alot better than the stockers.
