im running the gmpp red wires. and ive measured there resistance vs others like msd, taylor, grantelli and gmpp had the least resistance. but just how much more spark can you send threw a 3 inch wire? in my opinion the gmpp's are just fine.

Are they 90* boots? Part#? Are they cut to fit our cars?

The MSDs are made for the LS1 too, but they are still too long on some of the plugs.


Anyone know anything about the boots on the Magnecor wires here that are "Recommended for cars w/ headers?"

Umm, my MSD's touched the headers on the passenger side. Luckly I had the stock wires and I just used the metal heat shields on the MSD's. You might be SOL as you probably don't have those things.
