Default Ignition Wires?????

Ok so I've been wanting to upgrade my Wires and am looking for something better than stock. I figure with the upgrades I've done to the engine I should upgrade my wires as well. All the posts I've read/found on here for people asking the same question have mainly stock or just a slight upgrade so I can understand doing stock wires. But mine is deff not close to stock. lol. And pulley size is 3.3 for now. Any suggestions?? Are the ZZP wires good??

Stock wires are good. You will NOT be making more power than the stock ignition system can handle.

If you WANT to change the wires because you are running copper plugs that need to be changed out a lot, then look into PRJ. They have really great spark plug boots on them.

If you are still running iridiums for 100k miles, then stick with stock.

stock wires will be fine like stated. the only reasons you should upgrade wires is for looks and ease of pulling them off to change plugs. with this said zzp wires suck and are nothing but issues once there pulled off once if it even takes that long.

i have prj wires and they are great! the quality is well worth the price not to mention the visual looks of them you cant pass up either.

Those wires look great. I cant believe how much heavier they are side by side.

zzp wires are junk IMO. i would use factory wires over zzp, there poorly put together and come apart and once pushed on a plug its almost guaranteed breaking them when pulling the boot off the plug. ive heard so many horror story's about zzp wires it makes me cringe hearing them mentioned lol but im glad and happy for you if you got a set that is actually decent.

They seemed to have realized they are bad and started putting out new sets I think. Mine all seemed good, and if you take them apart the only reason I could see one going bad is because of how thick it is, it might not like to stay crimped.
