I did the MSD super conductor 8.5mm wires on my car. This has always been told to me, get spiral core, not solid. I believe its because of the resistance there is with solid compared to spiral. And on LT1s that extra resistance can cause a MSD box to burn up. If this isnt right, someone will correct me Im sure

You will never see another plug wire manufacturer put thier wires up against Magnacor, they will loose every time.
They claim 200 windings per inch, and don't use "resistive enhancing" coatings which can break down in other wires.

Spark plug wires are spark plug wires on a LS1. On other cars, it tends to be more of an issue, but not with ours.

i currently run msd but i would buy the taylor thunderbolts as a replacement.
i dont like the way the msd snaps on the plugs sometimes.
you wonder if its clipped good.
