Default Need advice on plugs and wires during header install.

I was thinking about going with NGK TR55-IX plugs gapped and .050 and Taylor Thunder Volt 10.4mm wires. What the word on these.

The Thundervolts are great wires. The best I've seen. I have them on both of my cars. I'd save some money and just go with regular TR55s. I leave them at .059 as they come out of the box.

Why did you get the 8mm when for just 20 more dollars you could have had the 10.4, they come with a sh$t load of bragging rights against the 5.0 crowd and their 9 mm's you know. Oh well I am the one who is out 20 more dollars for a mesely 1.4mm I GUESS

I bought the taylor 10.4 mm wires and I like them. They probably do not perform any better than the stockers though in reality but they do look damn nice!.

I bought the 10.4's and TR55-IX plugs yesterday. I wanted something to help resist the heat once I put the headers on.

I run stockers on my car. Engine bay looks very stock on my car except for the headers and lid. someone with a trained eye might notice my white 42 lb injectors, and the fact that my motor shakes uncontrollably at idle because the cam is so big.
