Default plugs and plug wires

I have decided on the MSD wires but don't know which plugs to get? the car is a bolt-on Z28 that will probably have mild cam in it again soon. Which plugs will work best and where can I find the MSD wires for a reasonable price (around $60). none of my local parts stores have them in stock and I need them ASAP.

I just put NGK TR-55's on mine last weekend along with the MSD 8.5 mm SC wires. Since where I got them is NOT a sponsor and you are not supposed to post non-sponsor info....I will just say try one of the two high performance mail order companies. I think you can figure that out. One of them is about 5 miles from my house. Around $64 plus a few bucks for shipping and very fast shipping. Good Luck.

I vote NGK TR-55 plugs gapped at .055. You can get the MSD's from a bunch of our sponsors, many do free shipping. A sponsor closest to you could get them fast, and even faster if you do next day air or something.

I replaced mine with MSD wires and the AC DELCO IRIDIUMS......after getting the Bosch and taking them back....figure THE GENERAL does not want people coming back 'cause of fouled plugs.......everyone here seems to like the NGK TR-55's though....

I decided on the TR-55 G-Power's. Do they need to be gapped or no? thanks for all of your help.

G-powers? I've never even heard of them. I do have a question though. With people having such good luck with the v-powers and iridiums, why the hell do you want to try something that nobody has used?

ya, I knew that, and had ordered them, but it seems like everyone else went w/ the TR-55's so I changed my order and jumped on that bandwagon.
