Default MSD 8.5mm and NGK Spark plugs. Best price anywhere

MSD 8.5mm Superconductor wires and NGK spark plugs. One of the best combinations on any LS vehicle.

MSD's 8.5mm Super Conductor wire sets have a special helically wound core that has just 40-50 ohms of resistance per foot--but with an RFI suppression equal to a 1,500 ohm wire. In fact, each foot of finished wire features 40 feet of tightly wound copper for superior conductivity. A tough 8.5mm synthetic/silicone jacket over an extra-heavy glass braid and dielectric insulator keeps the current guided to the plugs. Underneath the high-temperature boots, dual crimp stainless steel terminals feature snap-locks to ensure a secure fit.

These are handcrafted by CC Performance Parts and guaranteed for life vs defects. 100% MSD Superconductor wire and components.

MSD Superconductor wire comes in Red or Black and you have your choice of heat range on the NGK spark plugs from a TR55 to a heat range of 10. BR7EF being a popular plug for FI cars. We offer iridium as well as the AC Delco 41-110 for a great package deal as well

Wires are assembled using die-electric grease, one less step for you when changing your plugs and wires. Custom boot ( hi heat or angle) options and lengths available please contact me for details.

Other plug wires fail where the MSD excels. The multi-angle option allows you to manipulate the boot in any direction to any angle to keep the wire and boot away from the exhaust manifold.
This is almost essential with long tube headers installed.

This is where Taylors and most other single crimp wires fail. They can not be manipulated and often break when you try to.

We are approaching the 10,000 wire mark with thousands of satisfied customer all over the world.

Do the stock heat shields fit over these boots?

You can but it will inhibit the ability to bend the boot using the multi angle feature. If the boot or wire is close to the header you bend the boot about 1/3 the way up from the spark plug. If there is no issue and you want to use the heat shield it will slide over the MSD no issue.

No offense taken. No they wont add anything at all unless you have a wire or plug that is degraded.

They do add value when adding headers though, the features of the MSD come in handy when you have long tube headers or a turbo or s/c. The high heat protection of the silicone and the multi angle feature of the plug end do make a difference in those applications but for a stock car with limited miles and no issues, there is no real value add. It is a better wire but is not needed until it is needed I guess is the best way to put it.
Then there are some who like new wires and swap them often, not for performance issues but for looks.
