That'll work fine, just make sure you got some platinum plugs to go with the wires

no need for paltnium plugs.. NGK BKR7E is cheap and one of the best. http://www.sparkplugs.com $1.99 each and you'll find most people are using those

I have personaly made over 500hp with stock wires. I used to run a set of accel wires and they were breaking down so we threw the stocks back on and no more miss. If you look at the wires christain rado was useing on his 8.90 alky motor, they were stock. Its just for added insurance, the ngk's are good stuff. I knew a guy that claimed a 20 hp increase on the dyno going from msd to ngk wires. This is a well known engine turner and engine builder that this happened to.
