8.5mm MSD plugwires?
Has anyone had any experiance with the MSD 8.5mm spark plug wires? I just puchased them and wanted to see if anyone else has used them. Thanks for any info.

I've had a set on mine now for about 5 years. One of the easier "mods" to do.

At least as good as the originals. I have no complaints.

I used them on my 97 silverado with great success (in addition to a MSD blaster coil and MSD 6A ignition box)
For my corvette, they're a little more expensive than the GM performance wires so I went with the latter.
