OTVC with MSD?
I have LT's and all that stuff, my question is I am thinking about routing my wires OTVC or on the side, and I have MSD 8.5I have a good guess that they will work, I would just need bigger looms. But what do you guys think? I just wanna double check, I have heard someone saying to do OTVC on the top or on the side with MSD 8.5 wires was a little PITA. To me it does not seem that hard, but what do you guys think?

I bought an LT1 Specific Set of Plug wires -- just make sure that they are non terminating so that you can cut them to fit how you would like.
With a little bit of patience and some zip ties, you can route them safely OTVC.
Here is how I ran mine:
The Driver's side I ran the first two underneath, because it is easiest and farthest from the primaries. You don't have to do it this way, but I was going more for function than aesthetics.
The passenger side I ran up tight behind the accessory bracket and they all came out right at the intake manifold/alternator bracket area. I used quite a few zipties to keep this where I wanted them and to keep them from moving.
The taylor high-temp heat shields are great, and have done an awesome job keeping my wires protected. I have been running them for almost two years now without an issue.

Personaly J z28 I would run nothing but MSD, they have worked great so far, and I would stand behinde this product again, if I had to buy them. Ya they are not the cheaprest wires our there, but you get what you pay for. When i did my opti and plug and wires and went with NGK, and MSD, and I have been fine ever since. This is persoanlly what I would do.
