Default Spark Plug Wires for LS5

IS there a great difference between the shielded and non-shielded wires?

Do you mean wires with the braided wire around the plug wire (original plug wires) and regular plug wires?

The original wires had the braided wire to help reduce radio interference. You see SB cars with the wires encased in shielding. I have an aftermarket radio and don't get any static from the engine. I am running regular plug wires I bought at AutoZone. I think they are "shielded" in that they are designed to cut down on interference.
