For our cars wires are wires for the most part. The lengths are so short that you are not going to notice a difference between brands, so go with what’s readily available and has the best price. When I installed my long tubes I replaced the plugs and wires at the same time. I would have gone with GMPP but they were out of stock, so I went with MSD instead.

The NGK Iridium plugs are excellent. MSD 8.5 wires are great. I also put wire insulator boots on to protect them as they run very close to the headers. Heat increases impedence, so keeping them cooler can't hurt.

Yeah, I felt a differance.
My wallet was a lot lighter!
I run a maggie, so I stuck in the lowest resistance wires out there.
To answer, no I didn't "feel" a differance.
I didn't know you were suposed to "feel" a differance with a wire changeout.
The sparkplugs seem to burn ok though.

Wires are wires on these cars, unless you want colored ones.

you will gain NOTHING with wires other than a change in color; I've found the MSD wires to a be bit 'frail' in my experience
the new LS2 wires are the best to work with(from gm)
