Could I get some feedback on plug wires, Best, worst, deal or ripoff.

I need a new set for my GA code 2.0 with stock injection /blue coil and I'm wondering which way to go.

There's lots to choose from like Clewett, bosch, nyology(wierd looking things) and many more.

Any advice? confused24.gif

Stock wires are fine. Just not Bosch. The Cap'n

Most people that I have run into recommend Magnecor. I have a set and I am very happy with them. They seem to be better priced that some of the other high end wires.

Just my non-expert 2 cents.

Paragon products - Jason will hook you up.

Original Customs can make you Magnecor plug wires. Mark has the wire and ends in bulk...

I'm using Clewett wires on both of the 3.0's they fit/work great.

Me too, I like the Magnecor sets. Very nice product and the red color adds some flash to the engine compartment. Here is a picture of my set before I installed them along with a new Bosch blue coil and a CB performance dis cap in blue....I know stock is fine but I like these colors biggrin.gif

Same here, fit is very snug.

If you want the "Cool Factor," consider Fyrebraid. They look great!

I bought the Bosch ones. They suck!

Beru.

MSD Spiral Wound wire to go with the MSD ignition.

The previous owner installed the ignition but left the stock Beru wires. Needless to say, that didn't work well and I got the snot shocked out of me first time I reached in there!

Thanks guys, I bought a set of Magnecor 8.5's for $55. I'll let you know what I think when I've run them for a while.

They pull apart mighty easy, and the stupid rubber plugs for the tin they come with shrink up after a couple days.

Well, they're not OE, for one thing, and they're definitely second rate, for another.
