I am gonna change my plugs and wires with the longtubes I just bought. What plugs are you guys running? Is there any brand that is better than the other? I am gonna order the msd wires I just have to decide on plugs.

I think the NGK TR55's seem to be the popular choice for a car that isn't FI. That's what I'm running and I did the swap the same time as the headers and they seem to work fine.

I am running TR-6 Plugs... but I am running some serious compression...


Almost everyone runs NGK tr-55's I would definetly get some tr-55's if I were you...


Also I have some MSD wires for sale if you want them... They don't fit with my new heads... (they have about 2K miles on them)


I also have some used NGK TR-55's (also 2K miles) if you want them for free with the wires they are all yours

i need to get wires and plugs too.

i was thinking of that same set up NGk TR55's with MSD wires. BTW what are you gapping the spark plugs at? also for the wires, 8.5mm or 9mm

Here is what I got:

MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Spark Plug Wires, 1998-2002 LS1 F-Body, 1997-2006 Corvette, 2004-2006 GTO, 2004-2006 CTS-V - Red

The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Wire is "the" performance wire. Engineered from the inside out, the 8.5 offers everything you have everwanted in a wire; incredibly low resistance without electronic interference! In a single 12 inch length of Super Conductor Wire there is only 40 - 50 ohms of resistance! That is the lowest resistance of any helically wound wire.

NGK TR55 Spark Plugs, Stock heat range, gapped at .050


I paid about 95 bucks for everything shipped.

MSD + TR55's or TR5's work just fine N/A.

Just the Gap (tr5's have a small gap)
