Re: Spark Plug Wires IMO, unless they are worn out, stock wires are just fine - ignition system on LS1 is pretty good, so those MSD, Taylor, etc. are mostly cosmetic mod.

Re: Spark Plug Wires I plan on changing the entire ignition system at some point, so I am interested in getting aftermarket wires.... My stock wires have about 340 Ohms of resistance in them, is this a common reading? The MSD wires claim 50 Ohms/ft, wouldn't this make the wires have about 50 Ohms compared to the 340 I am having now? Just curious. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: Spark Plug Wires I compared the Taylors to stock ones using a digital ohm meter and the stock ones consistently had higher ohm readings than the Taylor ones.. 156 for Taylor compared to 326-350 for stock.
Also every Taylor wire was dead on the same compared to the big fluctuation for the stock pieces.
FYI - the meter was set on "K - ohm"

Re: Spark Plug Wires IMO, the wires are so short it really doesn't make a difference. But, you might as well replace them if you're doing your plugs anyway. $60 is a good price for piece of mind.
