Anyone have a preference between aftermarket spark plug wires?  Thinking of going the Magnecor route, but not sure if they're really worth the extra $20 or so over NGK.  The new plugs will be NGK Iridium's by the way.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I bought some red NGK's and i like them ,they fit (unlike the ones i had before which were to thick)

If you're going w/ NGK's and new wires, you might be able to open the gap on your plugs a little larger than spec. I've been reading up on this too. Specis .6 - .7 mm on most monsters you could probably bump up to .8mm without looking back.

Here's some research that will help you and a lot of others who need to understand this dark art.

Tons of good ones at most auto parts stores these days, BUT, if you want the "best", go with the Magnacore.
