    a part number for the taylors? its it 72210? i think that is what it was...wife pitched the box...oops! i think i only paid 60 or so from summit when i bought mine, but they took forever to ship out though. yes, the accel...what a joke. the ground part where the screw makes contact doesnt really fit with the stock screws that hold down the coil, aka it doesnt keep good electrical contact and shorts out, feeling like there is a miss or engine stops firing, so dont get anything other than the stock coils..they are good enough!! (that means i have three nice yellow coils sitting in my toolbox for the last 4 yrs...dont waste your money!)

    hahaha ok got ya, yeah i think im gonna go with the Taylor wires, they look pretty damn good, and not that expensive. the NGK's are copper cores so im going to go with those had success with them in the past, and will clean the hell out of eveything the coils, the ICM, and do the rest, i see now how most of you get great gas mileage, (I have been driving my moms car with mine in the shop) and even tho its a 3.4L it got 120miles at the 3/4 mark my car gets that at the 1/2 mark if that LOL, time for a major TUne Up!!

    Just buy some MSD Wires and be done...I'd never had an issue with them and for the money they have been on and off at LEAST 5-7 times. Cost me about $60 for them.

    and just as a guilty by association, with the MSD Coils being trash, i dont wanna try MSD wires esp for that price, the Taylors so far have gotten rave reviews, and are not that hard on the wallet.

    Don't know where you have heard trash...they aren't. They are just too expensive for most people. They don't do much, but sure looks nice under the hood. If I was building another car, I'd buy the wires in a heartbeat, just not the coils. Plus, the time wasting trying to figure out what Taylor's fit and buying the wrong ones, taking them back, etc...you can have a setup of MSD's already on the car.

    Yeah i hear ya, however i dont have money to throw around, i just dumped 1600 on a trans and cooler, finds are kinda tight, As per Summit, the correct wires are 72210, 72610, 72010 (only difference is the color) the 72210 is red for the 3.8 GT and is 44.40.

    i think he meant the coils, and why spend the double price if you know which set for sure? im getting taylors again. thinking im going with red and black under my hood now..or just all black...

    just got off of taylors site to come back and edit...info!!!

    72X10 is for non s/c car and 72X06 is for supercharged...the X representing color codes as sims said...but arent they the same length? intakes are about the same size for wires to route over..could i use the gt wires on gtp car? i think my wires are good as is, only about 50-60k miles..

    Taylor's are what 8mm? Not sure, I've never looked at them. TDC's are huge...I think larger than 10mm.

    "Again another proven and trusted product brought to you by TDCRacing at a price ZZP can not match on there own brand name plugs!


    We use Taylor 409 Pro Race wire along with MSD 90* plug boots and MSD Race Pro plug boots. The Race version of MSD boot's offers much more heat resistance then their original plug wire boots.


    Priced at an UNBELIEVABLE 88.99 + Flate rate 9.95 Shipping.


    Available in Blue, Black and Red.


    These are the same plug wires ZZP and PRJ are selling at 119.99


    Here is a comparison shot compared to the stock wires.




    And here is the plug wire by itself.



    Please let me know if you guy's have ANY questions. My contact info is listed in my sig."

    so im gonna just go with the reg taylors yeah they may be a bit smaller im not running boost or anything they should be just fine
