Replacing Plugs and Wires Soon
Replacing Plugs and Wires Soon Hey everyone, my 2002 Z28 just rolled over 170,000 miles and I was looking at doing a few things since it's getting into the later parts of its life. I just spent $2000 on rebuilding the transmission, and I figured I would go ahead and change the plugs and wires before it gets too cold outside. What brands should I look out for? I've heard bad things about Bosch.
Yea, no Bosch.
Get NGK TR55 or TR5 plugs. Gap them to .050
But new wires at PepBoys or Advance Auto for $35-$40....they are as good as you'll get. No aftermarket wire will do anything at all for increased performance.......not for a stock or even medium built engine....don't waste the money and don't listen to the BS....

I just put in ngk tr55ix ones, the irridium flavour, IMHO the extra you pay for the plugs is worth it, apparently they do last quite a bit longer without requiring a change and they come pre-gapped.
I agree with ls6427 about the wires , but again IMHO Taylor are nice wires, nice and thick. I have the 10.4 mm ones , no noticeable performance increase but again, its only 100 bucks.. and my whip's worth it haha!
By the Way, I hate number 8 plug.
good luck

Only $100 for wires? Why not just go the msd route then, if you like waisting lots of money on ignition parts for the hell of it, because, "your whip's worth it."
