Anybody want my Accel 9000 wires..

I bought them and decided to use another wire...

Anyone want these Accel 9000 wires...

They were on the car for a few days...

I didn't like the fit on my Z06...I couldn't get them to fit right on the last plug on the drivers side so I used a different set..

25 dollars shipped if you want them..

Email me, post up here or pm...

They are in perfect working order...only a few days use...on the other cylinders..

gm wires here seen way to mnay issues with other aftermarket wires either hitting header tubes or ripping apart . even alot of the big HP (800+) cars ive helped with are running gm wires w/o issues

89017270 are the ones you want. they are red in color and stock on 03-04 Z06's.
(stock fbody ones are double the price, dont bother with those)

I have Taylor thundervolt's. I have a silver car so everything I try to get in black or silver. They look and perform better then stock. To test your wires hook it up to a DMM on the Ohm setting. I think my highest ohm rating on the Taylor's were about 35 ohms. The lower the number the better. It just means more electricity is going to the plugs and not being lost in the wire.

MSD Superconductors all the way. I like the 8.5 wire due to my headers wanting to touch the Taylor Thundervolts.

I just took the stock wires off and replaced them with MSD wires. I have all of about 18 miles on them so the jury is still out. Do you guys put those GM metal sleeves back on? I didn't but I don't have LT's either.

I also have Taylor race wires. I am going to change to some MSD wires very soon. They(MSD) pay more contingency money at the races.
