Default Magnecor Wires anyone?

Anyone running Magnecor wires in their Vette? Opinions from those that have them? I have just ordered them along with Koolsox boots.

Added magnacor and koolsox when installing headers - they are performing flawlessly. Highly recomend them.

I've had their KV85's for quite awhile now. I have the 45 degree plug boot versions. They are a real quality wire and (more importantly) quality connectors too. HTH

Do they come in the 10mm race version too? All I see is the 8.5mm series? It is just more heat shielding, but I would like to have more and they look sweet.

I had them on my Z28. Absolutely the best wires you can get. I haven't tried them on my Vette yet, but I will sure get a set when I need new wires.
