Why do you feel they're not worth it? Did you read it on ls1tech?

They may gain you a tiny amount of hp, but nothing your going to notice, for the money I am with keniff.. Yes they might have a little more resistance to interference then a OEM wire..

You all act like they cost a million dollars. They're $55. How much are stock wires? Seriously, I have no idea. How much are they? We spend how much on blowers and turbos and nitrous kits and transmissions and wheels and tires, but you'll balk at $55 plug wires?

I'm not tryin to say that everybody needs to run out and buy some, but if you need some wires, yeah, they're worth the $20 extra dollars or whatever they cost

Needing wires and buying a set just because they might help is 2 diff things. But i can see your point.

I run them...because my oem wires started touching the header and fouled out. Only reason why. The ls2 wires didn't help. So I exchanged them for the shorter msd bendable wires.

I change plugs every weekend and motors every 10,000 miles. Guess I'm just weird like that

I'd get the msd's. And I'd run them for well over 15k. The plugs too. Do the electrodes even look worn at the mileage? Why would you do that?

And I wouldn't run a bosche plug in my lawn mower.

$55 pays for a little over half the cost of an oil change on anything I have.

What? $100 oil change? You should be using motor oil, not liquid gold.
