Id like to get new Wires, Plugs, and Coil Packs. My friend is telling me to go with MSD. Im not an engine person at all, im a Body Man, so id like to ask for some input which ones to invest in. Thanks.

For plugs most people go with NKG TR55's, and MSD wires are some of the best available. But as for your coil's, they're a if it's not broke don't fix it item. You'll see no performance gains, and I think that I've read that the MSD coils have a higher failure rate that stock coils.

I would avoid aftermarket coils. They are not worth any gains in this application, and are very expensive. Stock coils are fine unless they just aren't functioning any longer.

Wires and plugs are a matter of preference and opinion, so take your pick on those.

And even with the plugs/wires, you aren't going to notice anything performance wise unless the old ones were shot. I think alot of people just do them for peace of mind.

ok thats really kinda why i wanted to do them haha, what should i start with i wanted to tackle the little stuff first before i move on to headers, and so on.

Yeah, don't do plugs/wires expecting performance gains. I would pull a few plugs and use a gapping tool to see if they are worn. If they seem fine I probably wouldn't worry about it because it's likely that you won't feel a difference in performance.

If your going to be putting headers on soon I'd just do plugs and wires then. It will be less of a pain in the ***.

Alright yea it wasnt so much the gain aspect then more of a ok ive got some decent ones now moving on to the next thing.

Yea im going to end up replacing in the next couple of months but i wont do the coil packs. Also another question about the lifters, whats a good sign they need to be changed.

Ok i wont worry about them then they seem to be just fine, i might pull the plugs and use a gapping tool on them to make sure their still in good shape.

Bump on the lifters question.

Im personally running Granatelli wires, no complaints, they seem to get the job done and feel a lot more sturdy then stock wires.. Also I think on the lifters most people do like ls7 lifters or something now don't they?? i could be wrong...

I got a good deal on the MSD wires / NGK plugs that a sponsor had for sale...can't remember how much it was, think it was less than $70 or $80 shipped.

As far as the lifters go, if you're far enough in to replace them, just do it. LS7 lifters with LS2 trays, won't cost you a huge pile of money, and you'll have the peace of mind for it. I used the lifters that came with my engine when it showed up because I thought they were fine, but then half of them collapsed, and I had to get new head bolts and gaskets again.
