    I have personally seen the difference in resistance between the two. taylors are at 300ohms msd are at 40ohms... but I didnt notice a difference between the two. I like msd ftw

    ask the seller to make sure they are truck wires and not LS1 wires... the car (LS1) wires are too short.

    I like the MSD's. I have two sets.

    As far as length goes, there are at least three different GM part numbers because there are 3-5 different style coils (they all interchange). Each style of coil "requires" a different length wire. That being said, the MSD's (and probably other aftermarkets) are on the long side. My MSD's are a little longer than I'd like but there are no real issues. I twisted #5 a little to keep it off the steering shaft. #8 required a little twist too to keep it off the firewall and AC case.

    My 70K mile GM wires had more than 900 Ohms of resistance. The highest MSD wire I checked had mid-40's.
