Default brand new noob

just bought a 2000 camaro ss week ago, love the car still getting the T56 down pat as far as i know the car is cammed long tube headers 02 simulators and barley any mufflers, dyno'ed 395whp/387wtq at new era performance in NY. I'm looking to throw a colder Tstat in it just wondering what is a good temp and will that be ok to go colder because of the cam? ALso, what spark plugs should I use? Just want to do a overall tune-up, any intel would be much appreciated. I am very new to Ls1 world. Thanks, mike

welcome to the club man. as for your tune up I prefer NGK TR55's with MSD 8.5mm wires.

Welcome to LS1tech. I agree with Faught on the tr55's and msd wires. A low temp t-stat really isnt neccessary in these cars tho.

thanks Faught, in my manual it says .60 didn't know if there was a difference from stock gap because it is cammed?
