Upgrading plug wires: Worth it or Not? I did upgrade the plugs since the stockers needed to be replaced after 85k, and I was changing headers.. but I hear the GM wires are just fine. Would I notice ANY difference at all upgrading them from stock wires? Or just wait til one becomes a problem to upgrade? or hell, even replace with new stockers?
If the wires NEED replacing, then aftermarket ones are a viable choice. However, there are plenty of guys (myself included) that are making well in excess of 500rwhp with the stockers...

Unless you're going huge power, they are useless.
