Somone want a set of Magnacors I've never used $50 an they're yours. They add 600 horsepower so you don't need to go to ECS and get a forged motor with a blower.
Seriously if someone wants to buy them they're just sitting on my shelf.

I put MSD 8.5mm wires with the nylon heat wraps after my headers burned through a stock wire. The stock wires made some rf noise that was annoying (could hear it through the stereo) - that is gone with the MSDs. Personally, I'm sure the stock wires are plenty good as well as the LS6 red wires. I would make sure you get the $40 socks though so you don't melt another wire.

Well I bought some more MSD's! Thanks for all the posts, but I don't think wires are that big a deal. I decided to stay with the MSD wires because, I will have 7 spares and they have worked great for me the entire time I've owned the car.............
Again, thanks for the inputs!

I saw a new C6 Z06 on the showroom floor which had some nice red wires with black boots. The thing I didn't like about the MSD's was the gray boots.
