Default Which spark plug wires?

I'm going to get some headers eventually and I was wanting to know what are some of the best spark plug wires to get? Thanks.

many people say the GM wires are a great wire. I'm running MSD wires, but thats just becuase they are red and match the car (show car first, race car second). I've had no issues with them.

A Sponsor, 99BlancoSS usually has the best shipped price on hand assembled MSD wires.
MSD wires are good wires & are designed w/ aftermarket headers in mind. Angled boot makes it easy to miss headers.

MSD, the boots will bend so that they don't touch the headers

yeah for headers they say MSDs will work best, but i went the cheaper route and got taylor spiro pro. the red is deeper red than MSDs and i have no issuesd with them touching my pacesetters. speed inc hooked me up.

Yep and the MSD's have the least resistance than anything except the $150 Granetellis that I have seen. BlancoSS on here will get you a deal. MSD's and a new set of TR55's for about $65 IIRC.

My 99blancoSS plugs/wires showed up quickly and the wires look great. You can't even buy the wires from Jegs/Summit for his price on plugs/wires.

I recommend GM stuff usually, but 3 of my factory wires touched the primaries after the header install.

I had MSD's in for 20k miles. Took them out afer checking them and they were all reading incorrectly, out the stockers back on and no problems.

I am gonna try the taylor ones on the next motor.
