if its bone stock, you are making a bad decision to go with a cam this early. get some longtubes, cai, and a catback. those msd wires wont help a bit untill you get into (id say) atleast 450hp. a buddy of mine has a cc306 cam in his otherwise bone stock camaro. my car beat his w/boltons and gears by a bus.

You should read this:

For plugs grab some NGK TR-55's.

There is only one. It is a v-plug, not iridium or platinum.
Call AutoZone or someplace like that, they should know.

The cheapest one. It also comes in Iridium and possibly platinum. You want the cheap one.
