Default Plugs&Wires

Well, I have a choice. Autolite Fine-wire or ACDelco Iridium. Which one?

Also, the wires I have available are Autolite Professional series or ACDelco OEM ($100 difference).

What should I do?

Don't waist your money on LS2 wires, they don't fit. They fit on the plugs and coils, but there to long. Factory red LS6 wires are only $60.00.

Well, I pulled a plug/plug wire and here is what I found

Perfect plug, sharp wire and clean arc-patch on arm. Perfect looking A/F as well. I checked gap and got .057 but did not wedge it in there hard as I am freaked about hurting the fine-wire or scratching the coating or whatever. I bet it was .060 dead on, had I measured it "tight".
OHM'ed out the wire and got 270-OHM. For comparis on I OHM'ed out my roommate's 2005 Impala and got 2800-OHM (makes sense since wire is 10X as long basically. Either way, looks too good to spend $100+ on any way you slice it.

Do 'em when you do headers, everything's off anyway.

Stock wires are fine. No need for anything fancy. I use the NGK TR55 plugs right now, but I think I'll try the AC Delco Iridiums next time.....
