Go with the Taylor OTVC Kit (Over The Valve Cover). You won't regret it.

Thunder Racing is where I bought mine when I was doing my pacesetter LT install. Pick up the NGK TR55's from them as well.

This is what I run. The MSDs fit in the stock looms, I was told the Taylors did not (second hand info). I have been extremely pleased and they have been maintenance free.
