Default MSD v. stock plug Wires
Is upgrading to the MSD 8.5mm wires worth the $65? Why?

The stock ignition system is pretty solid. But if you like the looks and you don't mind spending the $$ on them - then do it.

If you spent the money on a radix, all the bling on your tahoe, you might as well spend the 65 on wires. With all that performance, those might help you squeeze just a little more. Every 1/10 second counts!

Well i lost time putting them on, but every truck is different. Take the stock wires and the msd ones with you to the track and see if it hurt or helped you.

I felt a much better response, and I figured that they would be something that would accent any future mods.
