I run the TPIS performance wire set:
-same size as OEM
-nearly same look as OEM
-fits stock looms and EGR tube shields
-price is "right"
-seem to be a quality produce (+8yrs and still firing strong)

Bosch 8.5mm is what I replaced my 'spaghetti strings' with as I recall.

MSD Street Fire 5563


I bought this ones same price,same dealer,and im really happy with them,i really felt the difference.-

Maybe MSD 8.5mm Super Conductors are better but im not sure
maybe i'll get MSD 8.5mm Super Conductors next time
i bought this set because it was advertised as TPI Corvette
and they do work pretty well.-

i had a new set of the street fires and superconductors. Used a digital Ohm meter, both had the same resistance. The nearly double cost of the superconductor isn't worth it.
I paid 39.95 for the Streetfire wires at a local car show.

Will the Streetfires need any modifications to fit? I have a stock '87 probably with the original 8mm wires.Thanks.
