Question Plug and wire advice?

I am going nitrous/cam/intake/header on my 02 Z06. I am looking into upgrading the plugs and wires but not sure as to what route to go. I am currently looking at the NGK TR55 plugs with some GM performance wires, Magnecor Wires, or Nology Wires.

Any recommendations? Nitrous will be a 100 shot.

Thanks!

I've run the Taylor 10.4's on my old car and just got them for my vette, they've worked perfectly for me and the price is nice... you wanna run the NGK TR6 plugs gap @ .035 they're a colder plug, the TR55 is the stock heat range...

THanks for the links!

Default wires and plugs

I have the magnecor KV85 for headers and TR55
www.magnecor.com
Ask Steve what to use
Thunder racing is now carrying Magnecore at good prices

dont ask a vendor wich is best.. ask a professional racer or look at pics of race cars and see who's useing what... I've done all the reading I could do and I liked the facts about the Taylor 10.4's the best combined with price...
