Lightbulb Tune up opinions

My TA just hit 100,000 miles and I'm wanting to do a tune up on it. I'm going to get some new spark plugs and plug wires definitely. Anyone know of any good ones and some to stay away from?

I'm thinking of Accel wires or MSD, not sure of plugs. Also what are some other good parts to change/replace during this time?

tr-55's for plugs and msd wires will be just fine. You could do your fuel filter also

if you want to go 100k on the next set get AC or NGK irridiums. MSD wires are pretty good.

So far I'm getting mixed reviews on MSD wires, but no negative thoughts on Accel...hmm. The LS6 wires how thick are they?

I'm not sure why Chef thinks they suck. I use MSD and have had good luck with them.
