TR55 or TR6 are both great. oem is fine but not sure if you need thicker than that with a cam, maybe someone will chime in.

EXTREMELY happy with the zero Ohms wires from Granatelli Motorsports.

The TR55's are great plugs.

NGK TR55 plugs and MSD 8.5mm wires here, no complaints at all. The regular NGKs are fine, no need to get the expensive iridiums. The Granatelli wires are a great product, buddy of mine has 'em, only reason I don't have 'em is the car came with fresh MSDs/TR55s.

The tried and true plug for our cars is the NGK TR55, before I had an LS1 I used NGK in everything I had, cars, motorcycles you name it. They are the best.

I like my MSD wires because the boot bends where they connect to the plug. If you have headers this is a nice feature. With the MSD wires you can bend the boot over off the header and the plug wire will stay there. There is something inside the boot that allows it to bend and hold that form.

I believe some of the sponsors have MSD wire and NGK plug combo's that save you a little money if you want to check them out.

All the ad's to the right side of the screen are sponsors, places like Speed tweekerz, WS6store, Speed inc, Vengance, etc sell parts like that.

Look over on the right side -------------------------->


Click on those little guys over there and see if any of them have a special.

If you'd had ordered the Granatelli wires on the 17th, I'm sure you'd have had them by Monday the 22nd.

I'm pretty sure the call-in-the-order price of $105.00 for the standard set is never ending.

The Granatelli wires are the superior wires for our cars.

V power is what the Standard NGK's are. And the V power plugs work great. T

Just a little side info: The stock wires are plenty sufficient. I just recommend MSD's because they flex and will stay off the header. If there was no issue with burning on the header then I would say use the stock wires. Plug wires in general are a waste of money. If someone did a legit testing of wires, I would imagine that Granettelli's would only be superior in pricing, and that there wouldn't be any actual performance gains. Not trying to come off rude, but like I said, plug wires in general are a waste of money.

Today's ignition systems are very stout and reliable and generally do not need to be upgraded even when putting out over double the factory power.
