i mdont think GM makes a stock red wire, but i could be wrong. performanc wires usually are 8.5mm. thats not the actual wire size, but rather the size of the wire and its insulation. usually the wire is slightly thicker and the insulation is way thicker, which mean it reduces heat and reduces interference.

I believe the LS6's got red wires, the GMPP wires are also red. Could be either of those.
