Where to buy opti and over the valve cover wires?

Did some diagnosing on my car today, found out that my #7 cylinder is not firing due to no spark. Actually it gets spark while cranking and for a split seconds after the motor starts, then no spark. I am going to replace the opti and go to some over the valve cover wires because I am sick of the stock routing. I saw that summit is selling opti's, but it will be more than a week before they can ship the one I need. I'd like to know where I can get an opti for a good price, and also some over the valve cover wires.

Also do the OVC wires still route behind the power steering pump??

Thanks

Thunder Racing (www.thunderracing.com) is AWESOME and they sell the Taylor OVC wire kit. You can route the wires any way you like, but going behind the ps pump is the best way to go, IMO. I don't have an OVC setup, but a lot of people think they are great. As far as the opti goes, search for Jason Cromer. He can hook people up with good deals on OE parts. Also try www.gmpartsdirect.com, but I know from experience they they aren't all that fast in the way of shipping.

Yea I use GMpartsdirect often, but their shipping really sucks. One time they didn't even notify me that a part was on back order. I will probably keep them as a last resort. I saw in a post a few days ago that Jason Cromer moved to a new dealership, I'll see if I can dig that up and contact him.

Ditto Patriot, that is what I did. No regrets. The opti was $200 for a full opti..call your dealer and laugh when they tell you what they want for those Mitsubishi crap pieces.
