Default What's with the red spark plug wires on my '04?

I thought I saw a thread awhile back about this but after searching for a half hour I came up with nothing. I just got an 04 RCSB truck with the 4.8 and 5 speed. (it's black so that means it's faster) My question is, Why did my truck come with red spark plug wires? Is this normal? My truck was special ordered by regency conversions to be made into a RST but they never filled the order for that truck and it came from Regency unmolested. Looks prettier without their crap on it Thanks in advance for any info anyone can give me

LoL I'm just wondering what the generals intent was when putting these on. Are they a high perf wire or just what they were buying from the cheapest bidder at the time?

Hmm....... Maybe they're supposed to be red then? I've only been under the hoods of a few 04's other than mine and noticed they have black wires for some reason. Probably no difference though
