Default Which plug wires to get?

I have about 30k on my plug wires and am pushing over 500 hp.
Which plug wires should I get? Does it really matter since they are so short?

Thanks for the info.
Brad

I'd like to know if plug wires really improve anything. With these LS1 engines, the plug lengh is rather small. I'm thinking of replacing the wires on my 99 Silverado. Was thinking of Magnecore, but don't know if it's worth the $$. Will I really notice any diff?

I say go with the taylor-vertex 10.4 mm race wires. 50 ohms per foot, and they look really cool too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Those Taylor wires (10.4mm), like he said, only 50ohms per foot, and they look hella-mean. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

NGK TR55 plugs. Mine came pre-gapped at .059, I left them there.

www.thunderracing.com is where I buy everything. Top notch!

My after market wires dry rotted and I put the stock wires back on and they havn't hurt a thing. Had stock wires on for the time in the sig.
