Default Poll: Which plug wires? MSD or Granatelli?

Please vote and give feedback on why or why not and any personal experiences you have had with them. I'm leaning toward the granatelli wires because of the near zero resistance... I had the taylor spiro 8mm and got tired of the metal thing pulling out and getting stuck on the spark plugs everytime I change the plugs.

MSD.

You will feel no difference in the wires, but youll save a lot of money.

I had the granatelli wires on my old Z71. They were nice but i didnt notice a

difference at all.

Save your cash.

While I have no personal experience on either, the granatelli wires claim of near zero resistance is great. But I think they're overpriced. Taylor 409's I've heard are good for low resistance. So my vote on your 2 picks are MSD, based on savin a lot of cash. And they turn out nice products that I don't think you'd go wrong w/.

I run MSD's, the Granatelli wires are way overpriced...great marketing campaign though. The stockes are fine also, if they'll clear your headers. Our ignition systems are stout and our coils have more than enough voltage and current to jump the gap.

I've had MSDs on my truck for 7 years now. Never had an issue with them at all. What more can you ask of a plug wire?

I have MSDs and like them. I would have kept the stockers but I needed the adjustable angles on the boots for header clearance.

Stockers work great

If you need to change them because of cracks etc... Get some Taylors. Cheaper and they last very well.

I agree with all the above. Only reason I went with msd is because I needed clearence for my headers. I did notice a bit smoother idle after putting them on though.

MSD by far. They are way better than Taylor wires too, which broke on my first plug change.
