TR55s and Red MSD wires here.

TR55s are the most common plug. Wires can vary. From stock, MSD, Taylor, Accel and so on. IF you think you must go from using the stock wires, I highly recommend MSD. If you search a little, you'll find some POLLS that people started asking to vote for which wires. Good luck.

TR55's and stock wires have been working good for me. MSD would be my second choice for wires. Although, I'll probably buy another set of stock wires when mine give out....the red LS6 wires.
