Default Best plug wires??

i know this is probably like asking which hearders are best but who makes the best set of plug wires for the LS1? if it makes a diff, i do have slp longtubes already. need to do the plugs/wires and i've noticed everybody running the NGK TR55's (or is there a better plug too for running headers? ). just turned the 50k mark and i've had 2 instances with misfires (2nd was pretty bad). so maybe changing these will narrow down some options. any info is greatly apreciatted....thanks in advance <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Mainly plug wires are all the same as far as any power gains... You just need a thick jacketed wire that will resist the heat of those headers.. I have Taylor 10.4mm wires, they are very thick. Ive heard good things about the MSD wires and some of the others out there.. overall it doesnt really matter. I got the Taylors because they were very thick, and Red to match my other detailing mods... And TR55's are pretty much the standard unless you're runnin nitrous or a S/C.. then you might want TR6's

I have the MSD's....perfect fit...inexpensive...
and the throttle response seemed to improve.
Not sure how much the Taylor's are but I only paid
$50 and some change for the MSD's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
