Default OTVC plug wire kit

looked at thunder's site, and was wondering what people's opinions are on them in general, and also which style is better (top of valve cover, or side).

Also, is it necessary to cut plug wires in new lengths, or will exsisting wires fit alright?

Thanks.

You have to cut the wires to the proper length, this also helps you route the new wires to where they dont touch anything. I prefer the OVC rather than the side mount, I will be purchasing these shortly.

I've got the ovc ones, they look great and I haven't burned any wires since I put them on with my long tubes, the only thing is that putting the opti boots onto the wires is a colossal pain in the ***, other than that though a good buy if you ask me.

I got my Russell OTVC looms from Pace, I also got the MSD Super Conductor 8.5mm wires and when I had my LT4 conversion done the tech who installed didn't have to trim the wires at all. To this day which has been two and a half years now no problems what so ever. Do a search of Russell Automotive on Paces website.
