The MSD is 8.5mm thick while the Taylors are 10.4 MM thick. The thicker the wires are teh less resistance they have. Less resistance means better, more consistant spark.

Stock at at 7mm I believe

actually there is debate on how the resistance is compaired to the spark. the size of the wire also has to do with the thickness of the insulation. i went back to stock ls6 wires, best wire IMO after having several others.
