Spark Plug Wires?
Im wondering if its worth it? i know i wont see any gains out of this but is it a good mod? or should i look for somethin else? would a 160 degree thermostat go good with my hypertech? i have about $500 and i want to spend it wisely

I'll take $500 for my Nitrous Kit, it'll drop you over 1 sec. in the 1/4 mile. I acutally went from a 15.7 to a 13.9 w/ a 125 shot and Nelson tune. I will even help you install it.

After lots of research I decided to stick with the stock wires. Too many quality issues with aftermarket wires, and no demonstrable gain even when they weren't defective. I am, however, switching to NGK plugs.

how much cooler did your truck run? also does it acutally help with the HPP3 if you can tune it with the 160 degree thermostat?
