    Another mystery of the universe...

    Is why the @#$% every aftermarket company in existence insists on making their plug wires way too long...

    Today's victim, MSD: I only had to shorten them almost two inches to make them fit.




    And people wonder why some of us prefer factory wires...

    You think MSD is bad you should get your hands on a set of NGK's.

    Im sure they just make set lengths and piece together kits with the closest length one.

    I'm sure that is true... I see it on all cars. It's just more of a PITA on a 3S because if the front wires aren't the correct length, they just don't fit.

    There are 2 ways to make a car fast.
    #1 use the Right combo of parts
    #2 Throw so much money at it that the car has no choice but to be fast.
    I choose #1
