ok. i bought my car and it has a set of accel 8.8mm wires on it. would i see any performance loss is i put a set of msd 8.5 on??? i dont want to do anything to drag on its performance. also the kit for the 8.8 is not assembled. i never had to put the boot ends on before. is it hard to do??? if its not ill just get those again. thanks - Jon

 

The size of the wire makes no difference as long as the insulation can hold the voltage.

 

Pete is right, if you have stock ignition, or even an msd box or HEI you will be fine

 

no its not hard putting the boots on the wires cause I did them on my car as long as you the special tool to strip the wires and to crimp the boots on

 

yeah. i just bought msd wires cap and rotor. much easier and i cant **** anything up!!! i got champion plugs. not crazy about champion but eh what ever. i just finished it like half hour ago. and its running cherry! looks pretty cool with the red cap, im just worried about the heat. but the guy i got the wires from said they take the heat really well. lucky i got an old fashion mom and pop performance shop near me. thanks for your help!!!

 

no prob cause I had the same consern with my wires cause I have shortie headers that ****ing wires are so close the almost touch but they seem to be holding up

 

I think the best wire are made by Taylor but you have to put them together. The first time I did the was the first time I saw wires apart and had no problem it's very easy. I agre with everyone else you don't need anything crazy but if you buy Taylor wire it might be the last set of wires you ever buy. One sat on my headers and did not melt.

 

MSD does not hold up to heat as well as Taylor and Accell, but they are a better wire other than that imo

 

MSD is a better wire than Taylor? I had MSD wires on my Mach 1 and loved them but I think Taylor is the best just from my experience. But in this scenario all the same. Excel is known for a low cost but good wire for the price. Almost every Camaro in Philly has a set of 8.8’s on it.

 

I bought a set of accell plugs and they suck cause the tops screw on and they wont stay tight I had a couple of plugs loose contact with the wire cause the top came loose and made my car miss and run like ****. plus I payed 50 bucks for the ****s.
