I'm putting the NGK-TR6 plugs in my GTP over this winter.... i already have the MSD coils..... i was wondering if anyone would suggest the best set of wires to go w/ those. ...im debating over the MSD 8.5mm or the PRJ 10.5's....i dont wanna spend 119 bucks on PRJ's if they are no better then the MSD's.....

OEM will be the best and most reliable.

Yes, I've always used AC Delco. You can buy a new set from gmpartsdirect.com for about $40. 12192468.

I'd go OEM as well. They are quite good and there really isn't much additional measurable benefit in other wires other than pretty colors.

mine are pretty red Rolling Eyes


actually the only thing i really like about the msd's is the extra long boot on the plug end, makes changing plugs much easier compared to oem.

I found that some dielectric grease really helped keep the boots from sticking. I just had a GT, so plug changes really weren't required all that often.

Saw a new set of autolite wires on ebay for pretty cheap, but have no clue on how good they are.
