    Default Aftermarket Sparkplugs wires vs Chevy Sparkplug wires

    I was thinking of changing from factory to aftermarket sparkplugs wires. is that a good or bad move? I'm looking for chevy preformance parts .
    If it is good to go aftermarket then which one should i go with?

    I've done that in the past and really didn't find any advantage. Unless you're willing to step up to better electronics all around, a spark is a spark is a spark. It really doesn't matter if it's carried by a cheap wire, or a high-quality wire, becuase both are delivering the same amount of juice. The plug is giving off the same spark whether its a chevy spark plug or aftermarket.

    Now, if you do get a hotter electrical setup, then you're talking about something that's totally different.
