MSD or stock wires w headers. I've always ran MSD wires on my LS cars. But last year I bought a OEM set of plug wires for this car before I completely changed directions. Seeing as I'm putting TSP LT headers on it would it be better off or more reliable with MSD wires over the new OEM wire set.
It depends on the design of the header. The MSD's are nice because you can bend the boots to keep it off the header. I had a set of old OBX(LPP) headers. I used the MSD's but still had two that got burnt.

I bought msd 32819, and advise against them. The coil side is angled but the plug side is a straight connector that runs directly into my hooker lt headers on the drivers side. there must be another part number where both ends are angled for clearance, but i have no luck finding mention of a optional wire set on msd's webpage. I'm planning on returning these for stock replacements again unless the connectors are truly bendable as mentioned above?? Can't dl the user guide online to confirm.

Thunderstruck/redbird: yep its confirmed by the technical support number, they bend and hold the angle. I also slipped the stock heat shields over the plug boot ends to be safe.
And now to get the thread back on track! As the o.p. asked any proof to better performance or reliability with the MSD parts? I can say that on the webpage I saw MSD sells direct replacement silicone boots for both ends. So future longevity would be better logically by replacing damaged boots.

Stock or firecore50.
Cheap *** MSD imported junk. They were ok about 6 years ago but you install them more than 4 times and they don't snap on like they should.
Firecore50 good boots and snap on even after being installed 50 times.
