Taylor made has some of the best wires I have seen for the LT1 for a fair price. They are decent on price and have a protective sleeve. I would stay away from the MSD wires as the set I picked up did not fit very well.

For plugs AC delco work great on stock set ups and last forever. A good thing since changing the rear on the passenger side can be a pain.

I am going to say the exact opposite about Taylors. They lasted less than 2 years. Started cracking and leaking spark within a year. By two years they had become brittle. This was two sets.

Switched to MSDs and haven't had a problem in 9 years - the same set.

Everybody has their own opinions about plugs, but over the course of 77,000 miles, my car has had the OE AC Delcos, AC Rapidfires, and currently Bosch Platinum +4s, in that order. I've never been able to tell any difference.


As for wires, I've changed them when I swapped in new plugs, both times. Both times, I used Moroso Blue max wires, and have been very satisfied with the fit and performance.

wires are kind of a gimmick... A NEW set of wires will do you good, period. I've measured resistance on new wires, and pretty much all brands are right there with each other.
