Nothing wrong with AC Delco. A lot of the LS camaro/vette guys just use LS2 wires (on engines they've sunk thousands of dollars into upgrading). With the coil on plug systems in these Gen3 & 4 motors the wires are so short you aren't really going to notice any performance benefit from going to a more costly "low resistance" wire like you used to on distributor based engines.

Fair enough. Seems by the concensus that stock wires are just as good. Well, they are already bought now and i am picking them up tomorrow from a fed ex shipping place.

x3 on Delco.
I've put MSD 8.5MM on both of my trucks with good results, but am also running a MSD 6A on both of them.
I would most definitely stay away from Accel wires. A few guys I know have had bad luck with them... I bought a pair once just because they were cheap. Within a couple months 3 of them went bad.

You don't get more spark than what was there to begin with. There is no "extra" performance to be had from "upgraded" wires, but the stock wires are not just as good. They're just fine for sure, but the Magnecor wires will hold up longer and you may or may not like the pretty red jacket. MSD and Accel don't make anything for street use I would use. I've been stranded by MSD twice.
