Default Plugs?????

Car has lt4hot cam, pnp heads, intake, tb, maf, hooker lths, hooker catback.

Would prefer a copper core plug I believe. Maybe I am wrong here. Willing to change plugs every 10k miles if necessary. Plats don't last long on these cars anyway.

TIA

are they gapable or just put em in? Any recomendations for plug wires. I have a box of worn out msd wires he gave me looks like the heat from the headers killed the wires. Can you wrap wires with header wrap or some other protective wrap? THANKS

You'll need to set the gap on the TR55's. Yes you can wrap headers, but, the wrap has been know to cause rust on headers due to it retaining moisture.

I picked up some tr55 g power last night. They look like plats I figured for less than a $1 more I'd go ahead and get em. I figured good plats for the car were going to be $7 or $8 a piece like they were for my typhoon. Or did I get the wrong plug? Gap on the car says .05 is that a safe bet? And what I was trying to ask (obviously i failed) is there something I can wrap the plug wires with. I don't want to wrap the headers. Orielies sp? has some nylon based heat resistant loom thats like $14 for 3 feet. I talked to a buddy though and that will prolly melt being as close to the headers as the wires are.

Also no spray on this car although it has a wet kit but thats going to be pulled out and sold.

Any idea on price would be nice it does not have a bottle and the kit is several years old. Guy at Orielies wants it and I don't want to give it away but i don't want to be an idiot either.

TIA for all the help.
