Default Borg-Wagner Spark Plug Wires? Please, answer ASAP.

Does anybody have any experience with them? They are ~$60 in local Pepboys.

I was changing the plugs yesterday and accidentally twisted and broke in half one of the wires. I fixed it with the soldering iron but need a permanent fix ASAP. There are no LS1 high-performance shops here, I couldn't get couple used wires from anybody in Tucson, so it's either a brand new GM from a dealership at ~$23/piece or those Borg-Wagner wires. Are those Borg-Wagner wires in any way inferior /superior to the regular aftermarket wires, marketed for LS1? Anybody can recommend /critisize them?

Thank you.

the wires on the ls1 are so short that the difference between any wire will be minimal. pick up the borgwarners and you should be fine. FWIW i had taylor sprico wires but they were pieces of **** so i picked up some new oem wires and they've been fine.

MSD 8.5 Super Conductor Wires work good. They can withstand the taking on and off, if you change your plugs often. $.02
