I just bought a set of crappy Borg Warners from Pep Boys (thats all they had)... tore out these gigantic but old MSD-looking wires I had... while theyre like half the diameter (7mm...) the car is running 1000000000x better with new wires.
i've read that diameter makes no difference.. so.. w/e

I bought cheap, lifetime guarenteed wires----No reason to spend big bucks on wires for a stock car.

well, I bought cheap Autolights for $26 and the shop I take it to were shocked...I told them I wasn't shelling out $85 for the Dealer's parts because they jsut failed after 6 months!!
So I'm looking for good but reasonably priced.

actually, if you are starting/running/ideling fine there is no reason to change the wires. the dont "go bad" over time unless you are yanking on them hard when changing the plugs (which DO go bad). they are only exposed to current, just like any other wire in the car. also, there is no reason to "upgrade" the coil/plugs/wires unless you have MAJOR mods.
