Default Plugs and Wires

Hey everybody. Im installing new plugs and wires to get rid of a misfire code, the plugs are stock and obviously no platinum is left on 'em. What plugs and wires would you recommend? My car is completely stock, so this will be my first mod. It is a 2000 Trans Am ws6 a4

Taylor Thundervolts are excellent. They only have 50 ohms of resistance compared to 750 for the stock wires.

I agree with SSPOOKY1. I just replaced mine with these.

I agree with the above. I've been happily running MSD's and TR6's here for years now, but for a mostly stock app I'd go TR55's.

ngk's are nice but over twice the cost of autolite's, i run 103's but that is a cold plug, i think 105 is correct for stock? but confirm with the guy at the counter.

I run NGK TR55 plugs and Taylor SpiroPro wires. The plugs cost $1.79 each at CarQuest. I forget how much the wires cost, but I bought them from ThunderRacing.com
