I'm looking into getting a new set of wires for my TGP and I found a set of MSD 8.5mm wires.. what do you guys think of these wires? Any better than AC Delco wires?
Top of the line for our cars, I have a set that I bought after my POS Taylor wires were giving me all sorts of boosting issues. The spark wasn't strong enough and was being blown out.
Ok. I found a set for $70 and was wondering if it was worth it over the $35 AC Delcos.
Thanks
They are a nice purdy red too :laugh:
Yeah they are a great quality wire set.
Sweet thanks.
how about a link Nick, I need some new wires too!
Oh crap I meant MSD wires not Magnacores.. sorry for the mixup :icon_redface:
Nick I have the same wires, and they are awesome. Purdy red? Definately. Great performance, you better believe it!
The Mags are the best! I have the 8.5 mm. Made of pure silicone and guaranteed for life! I would stay away from the MSD wires I think a friend had a problem with them and then bought Mags and never looked back. Get em the last pair of wires you will ever by for the 3.1 or in my case 2.8 :)

Personally I haven't had any problems, and I know of atleast two other street racers in town who use them, and haven't had problems with the wires. I'm not sure what happened with your friend's set :icon_neutral:
Buy Magnecores.....
Magnecores is the way I went Nick, If TGPvsTIII (AKA Tim) tells me to go with something, I'm going with it. I usely take the word of a ASC certified Mechanic, They usely see more than we can.
So far, the cheapest set of Magnacore KV85 wires I've found is $123 :icon_eek:
Anyone know where I can find a better price on a set of them?
Hold up a sign that reads "Have Soul, Need Magnecores".
Meh I might just go with a new set of AC Delcos, they came factory on the car afterall, they can't be all that bad. I can't afford a $123 set of wires at the moment.

Meh if you wires are fine wait and save your money, they are worth it. Or get a cheep set of champion wires from rockauto for like 12 bucks to get you by.
im sure theres alot of good wires out there but I just wanted to say I have a set of MSD 8.5s and like them alot. great fit at both ends and seem to have good specs. recommended!
I have taken the wires out many many times and they dont seem to screw up the ends like the stock ones can often
Cool i'll keep the msds in mind. I know this the magnacores I have now were originally purchased by a friend for his 3.2 v6 which he ran with for probably 75k and now I'm running with them. No problem with them pulling apart either and I pull mine out a lot, so did my friend probably everyday!
