Anybody running these? Pep Boys has them in stock as an oe replacement for 30. Car has MSD on it not but one went bad and corroded. Looking to see if these would be a good option to put on.

PLEASE,,, SKIP the department Store and the LOCAL Auto parts store wires!

You will NOT be happy with the fit and quality of the wire and long term endurance of the product!

Will you see a HP INCREASE! NO!

No matter what wire you run ($30 a set or $200) a set, you will NOT see a HP increase! The only improvement that you will see is a smoother running engine IF the wires that you currently have now are defective!!!

What you want is a high quality wire that fits correctly and will endure the environmental conditions of the engine compartment. The metal terminals in the boots are a significant part of proper fit and performance.

Are the wires that your purchasing SPIRIAL WOUND CONDUCTOR "OR" Graphite Impregnated nylon core??????

You really need the Nickel wire spiral wound core for best wire with the proper terminals in the boots for best wire performance.

Contact Gene Culley www.gmpartshouse.com. He has the GM OEM Performance Parts Red Wires for approx $60.

"||--Genuine GM Tune-Up Items--||

12495519 – GMPP red spark plug wire set (LS1 Only) – $59.98
12621258 – GM AC Delco Iridium spark plugs – $5.86 each "

Right from his website! gene@gmpartshouse.com or Patrick, patrick@gmpartshouse.com, or give us a call at 484-949-2099. With the addition of Justin to the sales team, you can email him as well, justin@gmpartshouse.com.


YEP, there twice as much but they are MUCH better/ higher quality wires and they use the OEM metal heat shields!

You cant beat these wires for proper fit, and wire/terminal quality!

They will last a VERY VERY long time without fail.

Correct me if Im wrong but I think you were refering to BORG WARNER Wires. They are a standard quality standard duty OEM style replacement wire AND,, they are commonly the graphite impregenated nylon core wire.
