Ngk V-power
I just installed NGK's V-Power TR55's (gapped at 0.55) and some MSD LS1 Wire set on friday, i just drove about 500 miles right after installing them, runs GREAT!!! (all stock motor, i just got here about 2 weeks ago, mods on the way)
I would recommend a new set of spark plug wires, i had all stock wires and broke 2 wires tring to get them off.

Why would ANY sparkplug missfire like crazy? Even the retarded stupid Auto Zone Bosch +4 plugs would idle and drive around just fine. The problem was your installation.
Glad the dealer "tuned" your car for those different plugs and got you squared away.

i checked them stright out of the little box and they are all gapped at 0.59, just like JEGs states
i gapped them down to 0.55. seems to run pretty dang good.
i have not dyno tested this car, so i cant tell if there is any gain or loss for this gap.
IF ANYONE ELSE HAS A PROVEN POWER GAINED GAP FOR A STOCK MOTOR WITH MSD LS1 WIRES PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LET US KNOW
THANKS

I got the IX's once to try them, and made the misake of doing so while tuning. Fowled them pretty bad, and decided they just weren't worth the extra $$. I've had the V powers in my cars with no issues since day 1.

Guys any debate over acdelco vs. ngk is a little retarded considering the fact that ngk makes acdelco plugs(according to my Napa salesman) so any improved performance was prolly installation,gapping, or lack of quality control in manufacturing related, not brand related

Anyways back on subject, I'm sure a lot of people had good luck with NGK's but I had a bad experiance with them and just wanted to share. If it was limited to one set of plugs it's wierd how it happed to two sets and has happened to other users on ls1tech.
