Default Taylor Thunderbolt 50

Hey guys I have been thinking of changing my plug wires, what do you guys think about the Taylors Thurderbolt 50's? Anyone used them? Are they too much wire for my Mods?

From what I was reading the other day, someone did a comparison test of all the major players in the wire market for LS1's, and those ones were some of if not THE crappiest of them all, even compared to stock.

For our cars, the MSD's are the best (and just happen to be cheap!)

Hopefully they will be reliable to me too.

01ssreda4, do you have any idea of how long your car had the wires? Did you check the resistance on them after you removed them?

Taylors are rated at 50 ohms, what are the MSD wires rated at?

If you get Taylors you will hate it. Anytime you go to pull them off they will break. Can't go wrong with MSD wires.
