Default Sugesstions on plugs and wires?

I was thinking of going with...
-MSD Super conductor 8.5 wires
-NGK V-Power plugs (nickel alloy tip) 2.39 each

Anyone have any good news about the (Iridium tip) NGK plugs 6.99 each, are they really worth it? I have my doubts.

Never use Bosch plugs in an LT1, or any motor for that matter. Bosch plugs are notorious for breaking off in the head or block, plus their performance is terrible compared to NGK or stock AC Delco replacements.

Go with NGK TR-55 plugs, they are amazing and a ton of f-body owners get them, I am very pleased. As for wires I dont see how the heck you can get 8.5mm wires routed through the engine compartment in those metal things that hold the wires in place because there meant to hold 7mm wires. I went with Napa 7mm wires and I couldn't be happier and I havent had any problems with my LT's melting them.

I love my 8.5 wires and when I routed the on the pass side I went behind the accesery braket and plugs Im useing the AC delco plugs for ls1's cause they were shorter than stock witch allowed more room with my headers
