Default New plug wires

Well after we dynoed my 98 vette the other day we noticed the graph wasnt as smooth as we would like it to be. The dyno guy suggested to swap the wires and plugs to ones other then MSD's. Keep in mind my car made 322rwhp and 331 rwtq in a 98 vette with a LS6 intake, Vararam CAI, and ZO6 mufflers.

I ordered these RPM wires from WS6 store.. http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...rk-plug-wires/

I just finished installing them and I must say they make the car run a lot smoother with better Throttle response. They ohm'd out at 32ohms and my MSD's were 26ohm's. The MSD's have been on since March and have about 4000 miles on them.

A lot of people complain that the fitment of the RPM wires are crappy. I didnt really have any issues but they are not as manuverable as the MSD's were. They snap nice and snug on the Plugs but on the coil they dont have that snapping feeling like the MSD's and stock had. I think its because of the size of the wire in side the boot. They plug up fine and are on there as it does take some effort to get them off the coil packs.

I am pleased and for 50.00 you cant go wrong. Keep in mind this is on a vette and not a F-body so I dont know what issues you might have on a F-body install.

I dynoed after the wires and my numbers were 319rwhp and 333rwtq. The graph was a lot smoother and the car made a couple more ponies throughout the graph.
