Default Spark plug wires.

I have a 2017 Grand Sport Collector’s Edition. Has 12,000 miles and was very stock till a month ago. New parts for the car are; MSD Atomic AirForce intake, Nick Williams 103 throttle body, headers and X-pipe (no cats) and a tune done by LG Motorsports. The people there have taken wonderful care of my car and I. The shop told me to get specific plug wires and plugs. Plugs are NGK LTR7IX and MSD wires. I keep seeing people have to get longer wires than stock because of clearance of the headers. Can someone tell me what length wire to use is?

Thank you
Frederich (Fritz) Teich

No I didn't need new wires with my headers but my headers are wrapped so don't worry about melting the wires.

Dei makes wire boots if you don't want to wrap your headers.

The ngk.com web site states that the NGK 6510 LTR7IX-11 Iridium IX Spark Plug is not compatible with the C7. Did LG Motorsports explained why ngx.com web site showns incompatibility with your C7?

Thanks,

Thanks,

Those plugs are colder, they used in blower motors, with his mods there is no need to change from the stock plug or the wires ......
