Spark plug wires

**sasquatch094** · 03-18-2010, 02:38 PM

Hey, i saw a thread a while ago on the best spark plug wires to run, but i lost it now and cant find it through a search. What kind of plug wires are you guys running for your LS1s?? I have a chance to pick up a set tomorrow for 30 bucks for MSD wires, just making sure its worth it! thanks guys

haha good man! Thats the thread i was talking about, so 30 bucks isnt too bad for a pretty good upgrade on the stock wires, i just now have to get some pluggss

MSDs are ~$60 new. $30 is a good price.

MSD's are junk! i bought a new set and two of them were bad they would clip on the plugs and not hold, my car would break up at 5,500 , I called MSD and they wouldnt take them back or replace the 2 bad wires, i couldnt find the reciept, so i bought a new set of black tyalor wires , i think thunder volts , they are awasom wires , you can tell they are 100% better over the MSD, i installed them and never had a problem again. I will never buy anthing again made by MSD!

damn well too late, we shall see on these wires then, I have a couple extra MSD wires and plugs laying around, so if these come apart, atleast i can fix them

thats a decent price on those right? autzone and oriellys wanted about 3 bucks per plug, this one is 2 bucks and no tax

The NGK IX plugs are about $6 each, but well worth it

**sjsingle1** · 03-20-2010, 07:19 PM

**Lawnboy** · 03-20-2010, 07:24 PM

You have stated this twice in this thread now, really no need to continue stating it in this thread.

i have been a Jacobs ignition products fan for a long time......had the wires....coils....ignition computer......on all my cars.....but then he sold the company and it went down hill fast....1st time MSD user....but no pro so far.....Dr Jacobs has a ignition book out.....its a very good read

**Lawnboy** · 03-20-2010, 07:29 PM

Why is that???? its my OP

**Lawnboy** · 03-20-2010, 07:33 PM

Yes i agree , i used Jacobs ignition wires on my GN, very good quality. I didnt know they sold out . I hear Magnacore are very good too.

i agree, ive had my msd's on for 3+ years and had no probs... then again we dont have a 740rwhp monster like lawnboy either so idk

**Lawnboy** · 03-23-2010, 07:29 AM

Has nothing to do with the 740RWHP

My motor was stock at the time, procharger system only 550RWHP and when we installed the wires the inside that snaps and holds on the plug side just wasnt there, it was all the way up the jacket , we tryed to fix them, but you know its a performance car and you want it right , we got them to click but at 5,000- 5,500 rpm the motor woul break up , the wires would not hold on the plugs i was loosing spark.

when i called MSD they said no reciept no 2 wires replaced, i said ok ill never buy another msd product again , he said sorry to hear it,

My thunder volts were on my 550LS1 for 3 years and are now on my 740 LS6 no problems , Great wires

I hear ya man, that would really piss me off. Ive heard alot of good things about the thundervolts. I think im gonna try em next. Even though Ive never had probs with msd I have heard about a lot of other people having issues. I think most people buy em for the hype personally.
