I'm new to C5s and have been hearing about "the red wires",,,are they a "high performance" wire ,or just a different version of stock wires? I'm coming up on 56k and will eventually be changing plugs as preventive maintainence .Figure I might as well hit the wires while I'm in there.

The red GM wires had a higher resistance than the ones I bought from autozone a while back, the red GM wires were around 810 ohms (each), autozone OEM wires were around 320 ohms and the MSD;s were around 50 ohms. I made a post about it a while back, there is no difference in the GM OEM wires and the GM RED ones, just color.

Do you think I could use your pic of the wires on the site?
