msd or accel wires?

hey everyone, ive just recently bought a 91 rs camaro, and im looking to buy some new plug wires to start to get it tuned up. id like to either buy a set of msd or accel, and i dont know which ones are better. i know the msd are more expensive, but id be willing to pay the extra if i thought it was worth it. i was going for an 8mm. let me know what you guys think. thanks

does not really make any difference at all. A spark plug wire will do its job... nothing else. Make sure you get "noise suppressing" ones because then you will have a lot of static in your radio... I believe most of the accel ones are cut to fit so that works nice... not sure about the msd's. an 8mm wire is an 8mm wire... correct me if i'm wrong.... I don't think it will do a whole lot for a stock motor.

like he said, a wire will do its' job. i tend to buy accel products because they seem to fit very well.

I bought MSD wires twice now because they were cheaper . A wire is a wire. One brand won't be any worse then another unless there is something screwed up with quality control.
