need your mods to tell you what kind of plugs to get.

if you are just bolt ons get tr55's
heads and cam or n2o tr6

both are ngk.

as for wires, gmpp wires, p/n 12495519, they run about 40-50 bucks. dont waste your time or money on any of the other wires like i did

next time try to do a search, this question was just asked a few days ago and the same info is posted in there as well.

You will get a lot of opinions on here about this.Most everyone seems to like NGK plugs, but some people like MSD wires,which I personally think are ****, and others will say Taylor's.Do your research then go with what suits you and your budget.

I thought MSD wires were my friend, then one died on me this week, and fouled out my tr55's.

I'm on the edge, and I dont know if I should go with MSD's again or not.
