Spark Plug Wire Question
I was flipping through some different websites that offer performance spark plug wires (magnecore, nsd, hotwires, etc etc). My question is can I just throw a set of these on my C5 without problems?

Just get a good set of 8.5mm wires made for the vette and you should be good to go.

Stock wires here ECS tried several high end wires but with the Kooks headers even with the cool socks, she ate threw 3 sets within a month. It's been over a yr now with the stock wires with no problems. The key is the metal boot around the base of the stock wire to protect (shield) it from the excess heat

Go with GMPP Red wires. If you don't have a particular parts supplier to order from then I would suggest Gene at gmpartshouse.com. He has gotten great reviews on this forum. Heres a link to his site.
