I'm running an MSD Coil, Red OBX Wires, and NGK G-Power plugs, and I have not had a problem!

I'm going to order MSD Wires next week here though

well i have everything hooked up and the new plugs are installed, the coil pack looks nice on top of the valve cover lol. started the car up and it ran horrible. im pretty sure some of you are going to laugh at this. i know i did, but there is only one way to hook up these things lol. the CEL came on the moment i started my car. i hooked up my scanner and it threw P0300. which i already know is a multiple misfire. the plugs are good. i checked them right as i was putting them in. i didnt see any cracks in the ceramic part. made sure the electrode was gapped to .035. so this leads me to believe that A. i either have a bad coil pack or B. one if not all of the wires are bad. so back to the garage again. ill post another update

throw your stock wires on. If it runs good i say you got crappy wires like me. So disconnect the battery, and put the stock ones on.

Well what an f'ing bummer! I was looking forward to buying the Granatelli ones (I have one of their other products and it works great). Has anyone contacted MP to see what they say about it?

I never sent MP one with mine. I just chalked it up as a loss.

I guess until the problem with the Granatelli's is figured out, if it ever is, sounds like the MSD set-up is the way to go.
