MSD Ignition cable

I have a question concerning the MSD ignition cable. You you feel a difference? Is it worth to change.

These cars make plenty of power on stock wires, so any difference you would feel would likely be imaginary.

When I did headers on my '01 Camaro, I had to change the wires to MSD. Had a bad miss with the stock wires, even with new ones. The MSD are sturdier, more heat resistant.

Kind of like people can “hear” a difference in $2K/ft Speaker Cables!

Pure madness 😊

I only bothered with new plug wires because the stock ones were up against my aftermarket headers. I bet they perform better but is a negligible gain worth $75.

same reason I went with them. I actually bought them before I installed the headers because of better clearance not because of any gain thought to be had.

Um, I actually had a miss on stock wires that went away after the MSD wires. Even new stock wires would miss badly.
