Default Anyone using Taylor plug wires?

I saw some Taylor plug wires in blue that would match my car. The only way I'd order any though is if the quality is there. Color's not that important but if the quality is the same as lets say MSD or the GM red wires, well then why not. Anyone using them?

I've used them in the past on other small black motors with with headers and have had no issues. I've also used MSD. I can't tell any difference.
I'm using GMPP now because they're red and a really good price through gmpartshouse.

Taylor wires are a good wire, Just spend a bit more and get a better quality Taylor wire.

I've used them with great success, but not on an LS car yet...and as Mr. Bill says, buy the better grades.

Taylor is an american company and they make the wires in Grandview, Missouri. They make wires for Compamies like Chrysler and Harley Davidson. Iv'e been using them for years and have never had one fail.

I also have the Taylor Thunder Volts, replaced the original wires when I bought the car at 65,000 miles. Seem to work fine. Make sure you get the correct wires to fit your heat shields.
