Should I change My spark plug wires?

How good are the stockers? I was looking at buying some MSD wires during the H&C swap, or Should I spend my money elsewhere? Car only has 38,000 miles on it by the way.

ws6store has a very good deal on this. i'd reccommend changing em out when you pull the manifolds for the headers during the H/C swap . . . pretty much might as well do it just in case

I wouldnt bother if they have 35K on them, the stockers work fine. I wouldnt replace them unless they are torn.

The only reason I replaced my plug wires is when pulling the old ones off for the header install a few of them ripped.

How long do plug wires last? I just got the GM red ones only because I had 100k on my stockers. I think those will be on till the car falls apart.

+1 LS2 wires have an angled boot, makes removal somewhat easier. My LS1 wires are red. Came off an '04 Goat. Red is faster than black. Duh.
