Interesting. Well the only reSon i bought these was for the shape. I dont have alot of room around the turbo and they use the factory metal thingys and they hug the block pretty good. Beside these will cool themselves in less than a yeAr anyways.

So what brand are yall using?

Combination of summit wires, msd ends, a couple shortened taylors I think. I dont have a single "normal" wire...2 are about stock length (1 and 8), 3 are about 2' long (3,5,7), and 3 are super short (2,4,6).

An added extra bonus to doing all the above (probably just fixing the exhaust leak) I am not at 10psi!

248 Taylor vs 38 msd? Has any one tested both with the same meter?

Interesting. Might be worth buying both and testing at home then send back the lesser of the two. Do the msd fit in th metal casing that the stock ones fit in?


Gmc plz post a new vid. Ha
