What wires r u running?
What kind of plug wires should I get for my car?(motor cuts out at high rpm's when it's been sitting a couple minutes and gets hotter than usual, praying it's not the opti) I saw some MSD's for $95 plus shipping, i see alot of ppl running taylors but have heard some ppl that aren't pleased with them. Recommendations?? And does the size of wire matter? I don't know much about them..

If the car runs fine cold and then cuts out completely (dies) when warmed up then it could potentially be your opti.
I would go with Taylors or MSD. I run Taylors and know lots with both, no problems.

The car runs fine at normal temps, but when i sit and it gets hot like it's running temp is 180-190 and if i sit in line at strip it will get up past 200 unless i turn on a/c it stays where it was at normally (makes it turn fans on or something to make it stay cool) and cuts out at the higher temps. (cuts out as in noticeable loss of power around 5k rpms) and sometimes at running temp.. i figured i need to change plugs/wires since it's a 95 with 39k on it with stock wires/plugs, i feel like that's pretty old to have same ones in the car..

I just got some Vision Motorworks 10.2mm plug wires and NGK TR55 plugs installed on my car. So far, I'm very pleased. But, they've only been on a few days. They sell them on eBay for $60. You can get them with NGK Iridium plugs for under $100 from whatever dealer on there sells them.

I have MSD's on my car and have had no problems. I would recommend them. Also, I've heard good things about Jacobs Electronics; I don't know if they still make a LT1 kit though.

Jacob's crap was the first "mod" I bought for the car, got an ignition and wires and none of it was any good. Had a wire start leaving in just a few months and the box went bad in maybe like a year or so and I had a very hard time finding that it was the box that was the problem. Have been using Taylors and am going to try something else next time not really happy. Delcos really are under consideration too, one of those things everyone wants to throw away but is actually better than a lot of the "performance" parts.
