On a side question, has anyone been able to use the 8.5mm Magnacore wires, and squeeze them into the stock looms? Just curious, because some SLP dual catheaders are going in, and I don't want any burnt wires, not have to do any custom routing.

On their website they show 7mm wires as well. These should fit the stock looms with no prolem.
I run 7mm Crane Firewires and have 0 problems with them. I just wish they still made them. They rock.

I managed to do it, but I had to spray a little WD-40 on them to fit them in. I have Mac headers with stock coating too.

I installed the 8.5 Magnecors on my car and all the stock looms worked just fine. But don't try to use the oem looms with say MSD 8.5s as they don't fit well. The Magnecor wires are much more flexible and not has "hard" as other brands. So they are much easier to work with on an LT1 than other brands. They also come in a size for headers. That is the set I purchased. Also, I got mine from Thunderracing, too. They are good wires

Since you have the same headers as I, did you have any clearance problems with running the longer header wires, even though you used the stock looms?

If you have a 97 then you likely have different headers than my single-cat ones though.
