Default Accel Plug Wires

I just ordered the TPIS LT.

I have yet to replace the plugs and plug wires, and thought it might be a good time to do it.

Has anyone used Accel's Extreme 9000 plug wires? Any reccomendations?

and

Any reccomendations on plugs.

Thanks in advance,

Glenn

I'm not big on Accel. I've had their wires go brittle on me. As for plugs, ACDelco Rapidfires all the way!

MSD 8.5mm wires, just make sure you get the correct coil wire.

I have the Extreme 9000s on my LT1. I just put them on there about a month ago. I ran the same Accel wires on my Z28 for 4 years and never had any problems out of them. Route them properly and they will last a long time. :yesnod:

I had the MSD 8.5 wires and had bad luck. Kept having a miss. Put on the Accell 300's and runs like a champ now.

I'm running the Accel's right now. I did ohm them a while back and they had a little bit more resistance than other wires I tested.
