Default LS7 Spark Plug Wires, Suggestions?

Hey Guys. What does everyone suggest for aftermarket spark plug wire sets for the LS7 engine? Anyone prefer a certain brand or model over another? Any actual performance advantages anywhere?

From what I've seen , it stays together it the performance advantage.

Your not going to get a performance advantage with any wire over such a short distance. That from an electrical engineer. I went with the Taylor 10.5 they fell apart. Now I make my own MSD's without issue. Buy the stuff in bulk and crimp it up. I'll make you a set if you want.

What about the MSD coil packs then? Worth the money? Any noticeable power gains?

Also, how much for the custom set of MSD wires for my engine?

The coil packs are supposed to produce a better spark. I hear two different things on them. Not worth it, and worth it. I bought a set of used ones for a great deal, they were lightly used. I dont not consider them to be a power mod. Just an appearance mod for the most part. One or two of my coils had begun to seperate a little.

Custom wire pricing is all dependant on sizes. I buy the wire in a bulk role and then purshase the componants separately. I'd need to know the lengths of the wires, the ends are always the same price.

You can go to Summit and see what I pay if you wanted to.. heck you could even make your own as well.. just need to purchase all the parts. The part that goes into the coil is hard to find.
