Whats everyone using for plug wires?

Just curious as to of the type/brand of plug wires people are using with their forced induction cars? I currently have the MSD 8.5 mm wires, but they are a little worn, and was considering changing the wires before the blower goes in.

I just switched from the MSD 8.5's to the OTVC kit with Taylor wires. So far I like them - they can easily be routed away from the headers.

My MSD's were great too - but clearly the routing is better with the OTVC kit.

I am probably an idiot here but what does OTVC stand for?

Re: Whats everyone using for plug wires?

As figured earlier, yeah I am an idiot. Thanks. Those look pretty sweet. Do you know will they fit on the LT4 style valve covers? Where can I find the MSD OTVC wires and how much will they cost? I have seen the Taylors OTVC go for about $115.

Re: Whats everyone using for plug wires?

Not to hijack the thread but Darkhorse, how did you route the passenger side wires? I have a set of the Taylors coming in Monday and was trying to see if there was a better way to route the passenger side wires instead of going behind the powersteering pump and up in front of the big *** aluminum bracket for the PS and AC pumps. I came up with a couple different ways but was just curious to how someone else tried doing it. Thanks

I went behind the PS pump - tight fit but they made it. Was tougher routing around the SC head unit.

I'm using Accel 8.8 300+. The delteq radiator mount runs the wires up under the headers through the engine mounts.

Re: Whats everyone using for plug wires?

I have used a few sets of the MSD wires after trying a few others, I am very happy with MSDs. I espically like the click that lets you know that they are properly seated.

Another vote for the Taylors. They were kind of a pain because I crimped on the Opti boots after routing the wires, but still easier than the stock wire routing I figure. Plus they looks pretty cool and I haven't had any get torched by header primaries.

Accel Extreme 9000s run through stock location. No more need for the aluminum heat shields on the boots.
