Taylor Thundervolts are good as are the MSD wires.

Stay away from Magnacores.

what's with the angle of the plugs on these engines. the far back cylinders are crazy hard to get to. so far i've got the new NGK's in and just waiting around till tomorrow for racenet performance down the street to open up.

You think this is hard try doing an LS1 F-bod! Or even worse, and LT1!

Hehehe

why stay away from the magnecor's? thats what i have on my truck. and i've never been a fan of msd wires because the set on my 454SS and my buddies 4.6l mustang went bad in under a month.

Yeah, what's wrong with the Magnecores. I was thinking of getting a set of theses myself. TByrne carries them, they can't be too bad can they?

My issues with Magnacore is that that do not "snap" onto the plugs and are not very secure. I have had them literally FALL off the spark plug on my T/A and they would rutinely come loose. I had to smash the connectors down with a pair of pliers to get them to fit more snug and even then it is hard to tell when they are fully on the plug or not. With all the Taylors and MSDs I ever had they made a snap feel when they were plugged in properly. Just my opinion.
