I plan on supercharging my C7, but will retain the OEM exhaust manifolds. Since the plugs will be replaced, I plan on also replacing the spark plug wires for piece of mind and something perhaps a little more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Can you all please suggest a brand and exact model (proper length, etc...)? I have read that some aftermarket spark plug wires have caused misfires, but t the same time, I also have read about some OEM plug wires causing misfires as well.

I have a Procharger and use stock wires. No problem at all.

There is no benefit to using other than stock. I use Taylor 10mm whatevers because I found 80 dollars in my couch. But I kept my stock wires handy in case the Taylors get wonky.

I have stock wires with my ProCharger, no issues. I did install heat sleeves on the wires, but only because I also added headers. I see no reason to change your wires.

Thanks fellas. Interestingly enough, Forum member Motorhead... posted a while back that his Taylor wires caused a misfire, and ProCharger posted that they had a case where a car had a misfire with OEM wires as the culprit as well. So if I have a whole burning in my pocket��, which aftermarket wires would you select to be used with OEM exhaust manifolds? Brand and model please. Plus, some look really nice as well for the bling factor.��

Firecore50. I'll never buy another set of wires. https://www.customwiresets.com/home.php Not sure if they make a set for C7's already but they can make them however you want in any configuration length boot style etc.

^^^ By the looks of it, they do not have a C7-specific one, but they can custom make it. Any other suggestions from where I can order them from? Some shops have specific wires made for them, like LG, VR, MTI, etc...

If you want the big, thick look of the 10.4mm blue or red Taylors, you can certainly try them. They're cheap and will give you the look you're after. If you're worried about issues cropping up with them, one of the two larger parts stores offers a 365-day return policy on them.

There's no performance difference vs. the stock wires - OEs have been used at over 1000whp without issue. If you'd like to stick with a GM part with a different color, you can try one of the GMPP sets.

I'm on custom wires because my entire ignition setup is custom. Before that, the Taylors were just for show, but for their short life caused no issues. Moto had a problem develop, but it may have been an isolated incident (bad wire out of the bunch, as the clip connectors are just finicky).

Contrary to what some wire manufacturers want you to believe, wires don't add performance. We're not going to get into another silly thread about that, as the EEs among us can rain all over that parade.

In summation, get whatever looks the best to you - just hang on to your stock wires. The 10.4s don't work well with (some) dyno tuning due to the size. And for the love of God, don't spend $400 on wires.

^^^ Thanks Theta as usual for your educational posts. NO, I can guarantee you that you will not spend $400 on wires, LOL I am just looking for nice ones that perhaps are a little better than stock for give or take $100. Any other ones besides the Taylor's? If they do not like some dyno's, then I will not want to risk running them.

They make them I have a set also had them on my c5. These are the taylor 10mm will work great but then again the stock wires will do the same for a man.. Robert

These granitilli wires are the sweetest set up I've ever owned. I'm putting them on next weekend at Higgs house! He just doesn't know yet!

It is a pain in the azz that you have to pull the fuse box out are unhook all of it to get them on. Robert
