Spark Plug Wire troubles after Headers install
i installed my headers, in the process you have to remove spark plug wires.. some were very stubborn and broke while i was pulling it from the spark plug. since i wanted to drive.. i tried everywhere local for ls2 c6 plug wires.. no one had em in stock.. but they did have the ls2 pontiac GTO wires. i figured since they both have the ls2, it will work. but now.. when im on it at in 1st gear... and the car spins its tires.. it sounds like there is misfire. It would would hesitate a lot under wide open throttle and it feels like there is problem sparking.. for some reason.. it never does it when it's not spinning the tires...
no.. my tcs was not on... it seems very ignition related
is it because of some difference in the plug wires? or did i break something? it's so weird.. i would think the wires from the GTO ls2 and the vette ls2 should be pretty damn close to the same.

maybe you ar hitting the rev limiter. I know my car revs quicker after the header install. Maybe a cracked insulator on a plug during the install? I dont mean to isult you with these thoughts just trying to help

Traction control cutting in ??? After installing brackets to relocate my ignition coils, I had to go with longer MSD wires. IMHO, they ain't all that great! After installing them, I've had the occasion to remove them a few times, maybe a total of 3 times. Now, its like the plug ends have lost their tension, as they have a tendency to come off.

i rechecked all connections.. all the wires 'snap into the plugs' nothing cracked.. plugs/coils/wires all good.
i don't know why tcs would cut in.. this happened in competition mode and tcs off mode
maybe someone can link me to where they baught some nice msd wires or something else?
