i got mine at kragen. they were cheaper than summit, if i remember right.

honestly, if you dont have a ignition sysetm, go with a cheaper wire. i went from msd 8.5's to 7mm bosh, and didnt notice any differance in power. and the bosh ones were about 1/2 the price

Eric:

If your using the 7mm wires, why not just keep the stock ones? I too have the 3923's. I'm planing to get a new TB, and have headers, and the cold-air induction. I was planing to upgrade my wires too, and was going to post the question on wire suggestions.

Thanks
Ugg

well, i have 74k miles on my truck, and the original wires, cap, rotor, and plugs lasted 63k miles. (i got REALLY LAZY )
when i changed them i went with the msd wires and the 3923's, and noticed a differance, but who wouldnt? the gap on the oem plugs looked like i gapped them with a fat screw driver.

last week, 2 of my msd wires got fried on my headers, so i decided to just go with the bosh wires. if i went with mopar's, they probably would have cost more. i didnt notice a differance between the msd's and the bosh.

the bosh is also a direct replacement wire set and even come with the wire loom that the stock ones come with.

i paie $39.95 for the bosh, and the autozone brand is $29.95. you could probably even go with thoes with out noticing a differance
