why not?? in my opinion they look basass! but i guess we all have different taste. I use MSD wires and have had no problems. You would probably be better just to get some otvc wires so that you dont have to re-do it when they are ruined.

Re: best spark plug wires

I prefer the Accel 9000's. I had a set of MSD's and the boots were real soft and tore easily.

around feb i want afr 227s so it will use lt4 valve covers, will the otvc fit on the lt4 valve covers? i think they kinda look nice its just what if i get the afr 227s and it wont work with them?

My personal preference is Moroso's spiral max wires. Excellent wires for a good deal less than Taylor.

And no..... there is no plug wire made that's worth $120

Re: best spark plug wires

I have used both MSD and Taylor wires. Both are good. I went with side mount for my wires with my corvette valve covers.

Re: best spark plug wires

I've had the same set of Accel 9000 extremes for almost 4 years now. No problems.

Re: best spark plug wires

Go over the valve covers - I didnt want to either, but after burning through fire sleeves and trying to route the factory way you'll never go back. I got a custom set of their pro race 10.4mm wires. I dont know if they work any better - but man they look bad a*s under the hood! They look like friekin high wire telephone cable under there-

so the side mount will fit the lt1 and lt4 valve covers? what kind of changes do you have to do to both for it to fit?
thanks

I just put on Accell 9000's and they are a great improvement. Got them on Ebay for less than $40.
