Default Ignition System Upgrade Question - 5.3

Whats up guys, got a question for you....... I was thinking about trying to upgrade my ignition system, what are your thoughts and what are you running.

I was also thinking about running a set of universal 10 or 11mm wires but wasnt sure if it was worth the time of cutting them to fit bla bla bla..

Get a good set of plug wires and a fresh set of plugs and be done. Nothing to be gained spending huge money on coil packs or exotic wires.

STOCK is fine.. Put your money into something else in the HP field.. Your not going to get much from it.

what he said. Plugs wires are so short that fatter wires make little difference. Independat coils work just fine.

Honestly, have you read the stickys at the top of each section....there's a pot of gold in them stickys
