Default Plug Wires - Firecore50 Part Number

I tried searching and was not able to find an answer...

Customwiresets.com shows two options for stock replacement wires: PF-3008 and PF-3006. Does anyone know what part number provides a better fit? Application is a 2002 c5 z06 with Kooks LT headers.

Thanks for any info.

I've had two sets of these and they are great. They are stock length. I'll never have any other wires besides Firecore50's.

Agreed, I will never by anything but Firecore50's. I bought them for my last vette, as well as this one. Best wires on the market, period.

I appreciate the opinions. Does anyone have any information with regard to my question? To reiterate: Customwiresets.com shows two options for stock replacement wires: PF-3008 and PF-3006. Does anyone know what part number provides a better fit?

PF-3008 provides a better fit. The boots are slightly angled which makes it easier getting them onto the plugs IMO.

Does anyone know how they compare to the Hinson wires advertised on the forum?

Firecore50 are the best on the market period. Lots of pro-mod guys use them and that's good enough for me.

I still like the GM Performance RED wires for $65. The quality is excellent and they fit 100%







They also accept the stock heat shields.



The Firecore50s are $125.

Remember,,, Sparkplug wires regardless of the brand, DO NOT add HP.


Purchase wires for fit, and quality.
