MSD are great, But stock are probably the best. If you want the red, you can order the Z06 wires. Sotckers also have a double click so you can tell they are on good.

I use Taylor and they are awesome, no problems from them at all and ive done two plug changes. Just gotta be smart and pull by the boot and not the wire or you will rip the wire out of any plug wires.

MSD wires here. No problems at all. I think if anyone is doing a spark plug swap or more, they usually upgrades. Stockers may be fine, but it just seems like an upgrade to buy aftermarket, so not too many people rock the stockers.

I'm using MSD and no complaints. My buddy runs Taylor Race wires and he says they're the best yet.

I think Granatelli's are supposed to have the lowest resistance and they even claim HP gains but I think that is stretching it (and they are pricey). MSD's have lower resistance than stock and if you have headers you can bend them in a way to keep them off the header which is really nice. I will continue to run MSD for the $$$$

Used STOCK GM z06's no issues. I DO NOT like MSD's very hard to get "clicked" in.
