Thought it would be a great addition since I have the 6al Box as well as e3 plugs.

Nice and Simple since whiz tool. I can do a write-up if desired.

As of right now...Really don't see any gains what so ever. Next week, I am going to see how my MPG are.

But I did get a chance to drive a stock Hoe with Exhuast and I can really tell how fast my girl is! :party33:

you prefer the oem delco wires to the msd?

the wires are so short, how much extra resistance could there be in the stockers? Normal plugs wires sure, but with coil on plugs, I cant see there being too much of a difference.

well im basing that on old 5.7 vortec that is distributor, not coil on plug.
and the msd wires for the older vortecs are a nice wire, perfect length, cheaper then delco, and a way nicer clip end for the distributor cap (several times removed and still clips snug)
and on new vortecs that are coil on plug, aftermarket wires blow, for the fact that you remove once and they have a hard time clicking on to the coil again and staying (napa wires for sure)
