Default Best Plugs and wires for LS1?

What are the best Plugs and wires for the LS1? I have had NGK TR55 Iridiums and Accel extreme 9000 wires on my LT1 are they still pretty good?

MSD's or Taylor's, NGk for plugs are really the best out there.

EVERYBODY here seems to run NGK TR55's, unless they spray. Factory stock or replacement wires are okay, MSD superconductor is good and the expensive taylor wires are also good. (not the cheaper of hte two taylors, they rip)

I have NGK tr55s with taylor thundervolt 50s....they are a nice wire, just be sure you always pull on the boot and not the wire itself because they will come apart easy.

TR55 and Taylors here. As an added bonus the wires actually provide a slight dress up as opposed to stock also.

MSD 8.5's and NGK tr-55's. I had taylors on before but they were hard to get off the plugs without breaking them.

OEM Packard plug wires are best for street. I might soon try NGK Iridium plugs.

That would be my choice. I run MSD and TR6 because I shoot dry.

Damn near everyone uses NGK TR55's, but which ones? The local shop has standard, v-power, platinum, and iridium plugs all TR55's. Looks to me like the V-power will hang out into the cylinder about twice as far as the others???
