Plug wires - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

raildusk · 07-06-2016, 05:56 PM

So, what plug wires is everyone running? The factory ones seem to be the best or are there some aftermarket "performance" wires that everyone seems to like? Gonna change the plugs and wires due to a plug wire getting against my header and just looking for the best option. The only soon to come upgrade will be a cam swap over the winter but the wires can't wait that long.

Thanks
Kyle

OEM wires and plugs

Best plug wire option.

OEM or firecore50

I'm using factory plugs and think I'm going to end up getting the plug wires with the heat protector sleeves. Hopefully they'll hold up better.

Using Granetteli . There have been lots of post on oh this and that and the stock system is meant for so much impedance....yada yada, what ever, a little more power through the wire from the coils, someday I will get better coils though they cost so much just for the sake of having them. SO most just stay stock, I go zero OHM, as why did I build all those HEI systems to go on Chevys over the years? Some times more power is just plain better, unlike the five prong spark plug with one electrode tip... a brittle wire.

I installed the Hinson Motorsports 500 ohm with my new ARH shorties and they really are a nice fit. They are angled perfectly, plus I have the sleeves that came with the shorties. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/HMI-8004

Also running Granatelli Motorsports wires. I have the 90º boots and reused the metal boots with cool socks.

Wires are wires. People try to market electrical crap all the time. A great example is that there is a 2grand, 1meter HDMI cable.

The only reason why I even went with the taylors is because my oems were rubbing on the header so I had to get the 135 boot.
