Default longer park plug wires

I have raised valve covers on my LS2 for my GTM. Anyone know who makes LS2 wires about 1" longer than oem?

Check out the wires for a Chevy Tahoe. I used them (AC Delco) and they were about 1.5" longer. Go to a parts store and ask to see the stock Corvette replacement wires and the replacements for a Tahoe, Silverado etc. and measure one for each.

I happened to have some for an '03 Tahoe that I checked and noticed they were longer. Probably doesn't matter too much, just use the same year as yours to start. Good luck on your project.

Truck coils from at least the 6.0L are longer. My last motor was a built 370 LQ4 and the coils are taller. I used moroso 12inch long ones on mine as I used taller valve covers also.

Moroso's site lists them
