3800 MSD Wires...

[Xtant12]

So I was looking at my friends gp she just got and the first thing she did was the 8.5 MSD wires and Coil packs.. I was told from one or two people that they were a wast of money.. To just keep it stock..

If I got the new wires and coils would there be a big difference or no.. Anyone else have them on a 97-03 style...

Yes, its viewed that the MSD coils and wires are not worht it on our GPs...Thier failure rate is also higher then the GM wires.

coil packs are a complete waste, and Msd wires arnt needed, they do work great, i have them, and they are easy to change plugs with
but yeah gm wires will do just fine, i just hate the little metal boots around the ends

On my last car (alsp a GP) I had the wires and coil packs. I heard they were a waste, but I was having ignition problems so I 1st replaced the wires, then when problem persisted bought the coil packs.

Honestly, it fixed my problem, but I had no improvement over stock. So I went up a couple miliamps or something..... I never noticed.

On the flip side it sure beats two pistons misfiring! :banghead:

The coils are real crappy and a huge waste of money and fail quite often. The wires are fine, I have them and no problems, but they aren't any better than stock. So to each his own on the wires.

i just bought msd wires and put them in, i like them but no noticable difference.

you will never feel any difference in ignition until you spin more then 7000rpm as the stock system starts to break down around 6500rpm'ish at that point you just get the msd box and be done with it wires won't make any difference unless you're trying to run some kind of insane sparkplug gap like 70'ish and even then you'll need a box to make the spark jump a gap that large.

I'm not even running aftermarket ignition on my t/a the only part I replaced was the coil/dist only because the gear was chewed up on the stock one tho.

excuse the rant I'm just sick of seeing people talk about ignition it does nothing unless you're making insane amounts of power (900+ hp) and even then it's only used to get proper spark not because it makes more horsepower.

i like the looks of the PRJ's. they are overkill, but look very nice
