Default Performance plug wires for LS1?
I was looking at getting some of the Taylor thundervolt plug wires for my SS? I have been told by several it is a waist of money and the stockers just fine yet everyone seems to be running them.

Anyone?

Taylor makes an awesome wire but do not think you will gain anything except new wires that look good.

Because they're pretty, and fat, and they say thundervolt on them and when people see that behind your P1SC they know you mean business. So I vote for.... Stockers.

I went with MSD's because they're proven and was gonna change wires along with plugs just cause I was already at it. I also got MSD's because a local speed shop had them in black and I could keep a stock look.

Stockers are fine, I'd only see the need to upgrade if the stock ones were to fail.

I agree, the stockers are very good wires.
