I call Pontiac about a set of plug wires for my 98 LS1 Trans Am and was informed they would be $165.00 for a set. Is this price about right? Also what plugs would you recommend.
Thanks

 

not even close, definately way over priced. order from a sponsor and be done with it.

 

Just get an aftermarket pair from MSD or taylor, whatever brand you want.

 

I spent $62.99 for my MSDs. Here's the plugwire index:

I just got some Autolite Pro Series from Advanced Auto Parts for $35.00. They work very nicely, thanks.

 

If somebody charges over $70 for a set of factory OR performance wires they are trying to bend you over the hood of your car with your pants down.


You should cease talking to whatever shop or person that quoted you the $160 price. Unfriggin' believable. Call a sponsor===>
and get a brand new set of MSD performance wires around $65 plus shipping. Don't let people screw ya'.

 

Texas-Speed has MSD's for a good price. Check with them, that's where I got mine. Really like them.

Taylor's from Thunder Racing.

 

I had the MSD 8.5mm but my headers decided to not like them and burned them up. The MSD's just don't seem to work very well with headers, at least my Stainless Works Headers because of the way to boot is configured. I went with the Taylor Pro wires, 10.4 mm and they work much better for me. I did use some stainless steel zip ties (yup, they make those, and Thunder Racing sells them) to tie the wires out of the way, along with protecting them wiht some Tayloe Firesleeves.

$165 for wires it outrageous.....hell, I had to buy to sets of wires since my headers burned one up and paid less than that!

Get the MSDs and call it a day.

 

Yeah. I got mine through Thunder a while back. MSD's baby!

 

MSD's even spice up the engine bay a little---at least my engine bay since they're red.

 

I got mine for spice reason!

 

the ones listed for your car
88892763 are 165.00which is crazy
89017270 are for 02+zo6 list for 90 most places sell for 70ish only real difference is the zo6 wires are red go fiqure

 

got MSD 8.5MM reds for under 60 shipped from BYUNSPEEED --->

 

yea same thing happened with me. Asked a dealer about wires and was quoted a price similiar to that. Ended up getting msd's from byunspeed for about 60.00 and they seem to work great and look good

 

They're so much more for the LT1s.. $80 a set average for the MSDs,

That's still better than the $300 my dealer wanted for a new set installed.

 

Get the red GMPP wires from SDPC. They were about $46. Sponsor ---->

 

fyi, just went there and its $55.56 for them. is there a discount or something?
