Default Which 45 degree plug wires?

I put tsp long tubes on my 2001 silverado and I've heard you can put gto plug wires on there that have a 45 degree bend on both ends to help clear the headers. I went to the parts store today and we looked up 04-06 gto plug wires and they look the same as the ones on my truck.... 45 degree bend at the coil and straight at the plug. What do I need to ask for?

i have no idea on this other then if the stock size wires fit but touch the tubes just get some of those spark plug "socks" to protect the wire.

you talking about something like these?

I run the GTO wires and they fit good. It all depends on what coils you have. They work well with the round gm coils.

on my 2001 truck with TSP headers I'm running MSD 32829 wires. Just bend them to fit around the headers and they fit perfect. $70 at any parts store. I also wrapped some reflective tape around the lower boots, but that may not be absolutely required, there is plenty of clearance.

Is that just aluminum tape you are talking about?

not sure exactly what it is. It seems to be some sort of thin fiberglass weave cloth with a shiny foil on one side and adhesive on the other side.

I got it at a parts store (oreily's) in the same section as header wrap and exhaust gaskets, etc.
