Plenty of people making gobs of power here with stock wires....unless you like the look you will not see any noticeable power gains.....save your money.

If your looking for power increases due to changing out OEM to aftermarket wires you won't find any. Because our wires are so short there is little change going from one wire manufacture to another. I picked up my 8.8 MSD's cheaper than the OEM's we going for. That is the ONLY reason im running MSDs vs OEM. My OEM's were going on 160,000 miles before I changed them. They probably could have gone longer.

For those of you who are wondering, Omnispark wires are OEM replacement wires sold at O'reillys. They're not high performance, they're just a cheaper aftermarket option along with Borg Warner being the premium aftermarket OEM style wires.

If you can get AcDelcos online for cheaper, do it. But the Omnispark wires will be just fine if you need something ASAP or cheaper than OEM parts.
