Default Spark Plug Wire Sets

Doing heads, cam, Z06 manifold, under drive pully, headers and NGK plugs hopefully next week. What type of wires would work well. Part numbers would be appreciated and where to purchase.

I'm very happy with my Magnecore wires. Thunderracing.com has them. kewlbrz has some very in depth information about plug wires on his web page and it convinced me that the Magnecores are the best wire made for the C5 :cheers:

MSD


but , wires don't make any difference unless they are bad. The main thing is that they dont cause RF interference. :cheers:
