Default Wire's W/ Headers?

Do you need to change wires on Fbody's with headers? I know you do on LTX Fbody's...wasn't sure on the LS1's.

You can extend them yourself..but it is much easier to just buy plug-n-play extensions...

Edit: oh...maybe you're talking about plug wires? stock is fine. I thought you meant oxygen sensors..hah

Depends on how your headers fit. I had to go with MSD wires with bendable boots to fit with my headers. Stockers sat on the primaries on a number of cylinders.

LMK, I'm in the GP purchase also. I just finished removing the AIR and exhaust today. Are you putting in Sims or getting the rears tuned out?

Getting the rears tuned out, I have some SIM's off my 97, but I'm doing a lot of work to mine so I need a tune anyways.

Your LPP headers are the new and improved version of the XS LT's I have. Chances are you're going to need the MSD's. Brain malfunction in my previous post ... I stated "Moroso" when I meant MSD.
