Default Which wires do you guys prefer?
Gonna be ordering wires and NGK TR55 plugs with the headers so I was wondering what wires you guys have used and liked the best. I was prolly gonna go with MSD but I've heard from a buddy that I should get the Taylor wires.

Post MSD's all the way
I love the MSD (black) wires (keeps more of a stock look), with the NGK TR55,
i believe most of everyone runs a NGK gap of 45-55 ish, i run 55 due to the MSD wires are soooo low in resistance so you need a large gap to keep the spark (power/voltage) high.
