Best Plug Wires????
Just did heads, cam, intake, clutch, etc on '99FRC. They put in new plugs, but did not replace wires. What is the best upgrade/ direct replacement (i.e. no cutting and terminating) out there, and where?

I've had the GM performance plug wires on for a year. They work fine and fit perfectly.

THe stock wires are very good. Unless you are having a problem with these, I would stick with them. If you are having a problem, the MSD wires are great!
We do have them in stock if you need them. (not on website yet)
Thanks,

I run Magnecor wires. You really will not notice much if any difference in plug wires, but the Magnecors do offer the best windings/inch.

I am using the MSD 8.5 mm wires and they appear to be working great. With the TR55 plugs and MSD wires my car does idle better :D
Exact same setup as me, I feel my car idled better also. :jester

Re: Best Plug Wires???? (Gramps)
If your wires are worn, or your using headers or you want the looks, in any case, I have really loved the magnecor KV85. It is a superior constructed wire. I have used all kinds.
