Default Spark Plug Wires

I thnk my spark plug wires are going bad but I am wonder should I go back with the factory spec on spark Plug wires or upgrade to something better. Reason being is that I h presently have an MSD, Hot Coil, and chip on my car. Will the factory wires be able to take the extra work that these after market products deliever. If not what brand of wire should I invest in

I have an Accel ignition and hot coil. Used the monster 300+ 8.8 racing wires from Accel. :flag

If you want to continue with stock looms use the TPIS wires, which are much better than stock and work well with a high output HEI setup.

If you want very low resistance wires try MSD 8.5mm SuperConductors; these will need new looms like Made For You (Summit).

You might also try the cut back spark plug electrode mod (on my site) with a gap of .045".
