i laid into my vette yesterday at 120 degrees coolant temp. and it ran it's azz off with a little sputtering at the higher rpm. When the collant temp hit 200 degrees it sputters and spits. very aggravating! Any way b/4 it goes into a shop I changed my NGK tr55's and put new 55's back in. Same result. I have been told the wires probably need to be changed. I was just surprized they were 7mm. I am getting NO check engine light I just want to change these delco,s. They have the protective metal heat shields on them and they look ok, but they just can't take the heat.

Get Msd they are really improved to a nice wire! Some buddy going to chime in and "say save your money blah blah . I had the stock wires and with Ngk's gapped aroud ..060. I took them back out, in favor of the stock plugs. Then I switched to the msd with the Ngk's indexed at the out the box .059. Runs better all the way round! You won't gain any with out opening your plug gaps. The msd's allow a wider gap
do to the less resistance of the wire. They allow more current and voltage to the plug.

Any radio 'static' problems when using these wires?

Your nuts, they have improved, from the old MSD's which were not top notch, Now they are one of the best wires out! Try a new set you will be happy you did. They allow opening the plug gap to .060 which the stock wires show missfire with the .060 gap on the dyno.
