Default Sparkplug wires?

What are the best sparkplug wires for someone that changes there plugs every week?I have the MSD wires now but they seem to get looser every time I take them off.I had Taylor wire also but they came apart right away.
Thanks Steve

Why are you changing plugs every week?

I run MSD wires and change my plugs 2 times per season.

Got ya. I understand.

MSD wires are most likely your best bet. Good luck.

I run Granatelli wires, they are supposed to have around 0 ohms of resistance, which is beneficial for spark.

I got them for about $100 on sale, very high quality wires. I highly reccmmend them.

MSD seem fine for us, and nobody pulls their plugs more than we do.

If u have to, maybe give them a gentle squeeze when needed.

Used Taylors before we switched to MSD, both are good.

I have the same wires. I mesured resistance and it was 0.8oms. The stock wires were 398oms thats a big difference.

Magnacores, 5 years old, used them on three different cars and many dozens of plug changes. Only problem with LS1 wires I ever had were with MSD wires.
