Default Spark plug wire advice LS7

Hey guys,

Apparently my Granatelli spark plug wires broke, forcing me to get new ones.

Im using a 1 inch spacer between the heads and valve covers, leaving me with needing longer than stock wires. (12 in)

Any recommendations? Don't really want to shell out 230 USD inc tax+shipping for a product my two friends and I has only had issues with.
MSD truck wires for LS or maybe someone knows something even better?

I've been in contact with Granatelli, and they leave a 1 year warranty. In my case they do not seem to consider it a warranty case.

FireCore 50 here as well.. They can be made to fit.

Mine come off and on a lot and the other brands always ended up breaking.
