Plugs and Plug Wires...
Plugs and Plug Wires... well fixin to do the headers/y-pipe,stall and tranny cooler on my '02 SS and i had a couple of questions b4 i started...
while im at it i figured i might as well atleast change the plugs...so what do you guys recommend for a good plug on just a bolt on car???
also i wanted to know if it was worth it to change plug wires while im at it or should i just stay with the stock ones??? if so then tell me what kinda i should be runnin.
thanks

I also recommend the TR55's. I am running MSD 8.5's with great results. Some have had bad experiences with Taylor wiresets. The stock wires are good also. How many miles on the vehicle? That would be my deciding factor on the wires.

Stock wires are fine. Your best bet is either stock replacements, MSD supercondcutors (what I have) or the more expensive of the Taylor wires.
Probably 90% of LS1tech members run TR55 plugs, and the rest run TR6's. (nitrous)

thanks guys, TR55s it is!!! the car only has 17,000 miles on it...
so i guess im fine with the factory wires???
on a side note, do the MSD wires stand up to heat or do i need to put sleeves on them when i do my headers???

Factory wires are fine, they are harder to get on and off compared to my wires though. I have Taylor Thundervolts on my car and think they are really nice, with no problems, and they look good. However, they are not necessary.

Guys, I just read two stories in CHP claiming 15 hp from a wire change. Also granitelli (however you spell it), claims it in their ads. Don't know if it is true(sounds too good); I just stumbled onto this thread looking for info. Aparently stock wires have 800 ohms resistance and these new wires are less than an ohm. Don't know just passing it along.
tr55's and moroso ultra 40 wires, the msd wires i had didnt like the header heat i dont think, put the new wires on the car and there was a good difference in how the car ran, lot better. i wont go back to msd after seeing this. plus moroso is the best fit i have seen, for headers and they come with heat shields. ive got a thread ill post pics in tonight if i remember, kinda expensive but it was worth it IMO after the difference i saw and the fitment

thought moroso claims lowest resistance of 40 ohms per foot and msd is 50 ohms per foot, no way only one ohm on those wires. i need to get a stock wire and test it and get the new one and test it, check the msds out as well
