Taylor 10.4 Spiro Pro's..... Work fine .. 400 miles on them..

LT's w/ TR-55's and the 10.4's None are touching the primaries, so no melting concerns yet..

I have had: factory wires - (obviously), MSD's, and now GMPP wires. And the GMPP wires are by far the best. They lock onto the plug and coil pack far better than any other wire I have used. That was my main gripe w/ the MSD's... I never could tell if they were on the plugs good enough. I found myself constantly rechecking them.

I just recently changed to the GMPP red wires and am impressed with how they lock onto the coil pack and plug. Runs much smoother as well.

Been running the stockers here for 58K miles now and have no complaints. I like the fact that they snap twice to let you know that they're on the plug, plus they have the heat shields on the boot. I used to have MSD's, but a couple of the boots melted a little and I couldn't tell whether they were on the plug or not.

I run Taylor Thundervolts on my car. I like them a lot. I've been running them for around 7k miles.

Not heat protectors on them, I run them with LTs and TR55s. I'd definately recommend them.

I got them at my local GM dealer, they were under $60 including tax for the set. They only come in red, doesn't bother me, but might turn off some people.
