Need Plug/Wire advice!!! I'm about to change my plugs and wires, but want to get some input on 3 seperate questions.
1. What plug should I use?
2. What wires should I use?
3. How should I gap the plugs?
So that you have all the appropriate information, here's my application. I am basically a full bolt on car, with a '01 LS6 cam. This car will NEVER see the spray or FI. So I want to maximize my selection for N/A application.
...oh, in case it comes up, I want to change the wires too, because I suspect one or more of my wires were handled too roughly during our header install... ever since then, the car hasn't been QUITE the same... feels like a random miss.

Re: Need Plug/Wire advice!!! NGK TR55's seem to be the buzz around here. Some use Bosch plugs also. I decided that I wanted to stay stock brand, but didnt feel like using the double platinums, so I just installed some AC Delco Rapidfire #12. They seem to run great. Then again, any plug I would have put in would have changed the feel of my 35,000 stock plugs which had lost all the electrode nubs.

Re: Need Plug/Wire advice!!! Opps, As far as wires go, most people like the stock wires. I hear there are arcing issues with some after wires after a few plug changes. I decide to change mine out anyway and went with MSD 8.5mm superconductors. I have heard good things about the magnecor, taylor, and jacobs also.

Hummmm... interesting issue. I have heard good things about the SuperConductors, but haven't heard of this arcing issue... Any opinions on Gap?
