I think the stock ones are supposed to be good enough. Unless you want some that look better.

if you want more info, do the advanced search "spark plugs" in Gen. III, search thread titles only. plenty of threads in there.

I've had stockers on both my cars. They were making 550+ at the tires and I never had a single ignition problem

I went with MSD. They have a nice boot that keeps the wires away from the headers.

I used to have taylor wires until the clip on the inside broke after about a year and I had put my stockers back on. Just last week I bought some MSD's 8.5mm and they look and worked great. I measured the resistance from the stockers and it was 733ohm's. My MSD's were 25ohm's. The car seems to drive alot smoother, through the hole rev range compared to the stocker's.
