I use AC Irridiums and Taylor 8mm wires. There is a current discussion going on at the tread below.

Stock wires and NGK TR55s currently. I plan to change over to some AC Delco Iridiums on the next plug change though, just to see if I like them better. But I'll be sticking with GM wires.

If I decided on ac delco iridiums what would the gap need to be on a stock ls1?

Thanks

That's seems to be the common thing here. MSD wires and NGK TR55s. That what I use. If people aren't using that, they are using Delcos and Stock Wires. Few people use Taylor Wires, but usually complain about the breaking the first time they pull them off. When you read the same things about the same products over and over, it's pretty clear to me what to use and what to avoid.

In my 98 I used AC Delco Iridiums and MSD wires. The race cars get Phillips wires and Autolite race plugs.
