Ignition Wires

Hey guys,

I use my 96 Lt1 as a daily driver and want to do a tune up.

I am getting A/C Delco Professional Platinum Plugs (Part Number: 41-943)...

What are the better wires out there? I heard that since our Vettes are fiberglass the wrong resistance wires can cause electrical interference?

Are there any articles like this:http://www.streetmachineclub.com/Por...ugs-lowres.pdf but for wires?

Thanks guys

The A/C Delco wires work fine for me.

i have a set of MSD wires on my 84. they work great with no issues. i am running NGK plugs and i'm happy with them. no running difference over the AC delco plugs other than a smoother idle.

I do not want to burst any bubbles here but the results are statistically inconclusive. 99.99% of the strain gages are 1% or less in accuracy. meaning with 408 ft lbs 404 and 412 ft lbs are both probable results with 408 ft lbs being measured. Add to that the correction factors and accuracy of those devices and you have to make a dozen pulls and average them at best. It is magazine hype at it's best. BTW nothing secret about the secret plugs Bosch race plugs and I doubt you will find them at Summit or Jegs if you are using that as your encyclopedia...
