I just changed spark plugs after getting headers on to bosch platinums pregaped 4$ each. The stock wires fit loosely and kinda of close to the headers. Any aftermarket 45 degree angle that arent as close to the headers and stock appearing as well as affordable? Whats a good upgrade for spark plug wires for around 50$? stock duralast replacements are 50$ i seen a couple listed a high performance for 55$ under 99 corvette on the autozone website. Really looking to see if anyone has used the 45 degree angle i believe they are so they not as close to the primaries at the end.
I used NGK TR55 plugs and GMPP red wires. You can add DEI Spark Plug Boot and Wire Protection if the wires are to close to your headers
Reason i went with platinum bosch was i read theyd last 60k miles vs 20k miles plus all the plugs i head piled up from my 98 z28 in 2009 were copper. How about these summit racing wires Summit Racing SUM-887828 Summit Racing® 8.5mm Ignition Wires | Summit Racing Theyre angled away from the headers it appears? If you were to get these and them not be correctly angled as pictured could you return them any anyone know where to find the same set without having to eat shipping handling charges. Anyone tried msd street fire for 55$ the corvette uses the same ls1 duralast part number i had purchased back in 2012 for a 98 camaro. MSD Performance Wireset 5572 (autozone.com) I can snap a picture but theyre pretty close to the headers. Im still waiting on intake gasket to arrive before starting it up.

The RED GM wires are the best ones you can get for the C5, numerous studies have confirmed the fact. There are others that are good but why take a chance. The amount of resistance in the red wires was in the optimal range during the GM testing, 0 resistance wires are not better. There are other good ones but why fight with success.
