Default New Wires & Plugs Question

What plugs and wires should I use to replace the stock ones? I'm thinking about NGK TR55 plugs. Suggestions on wires?

The NGK's are good plugs.

I have the MSD wires. To be honest the only thing better about them then stock is the cool red color they come in. Aside from that plus, the #8 cylinder wire has come off twice. They just dont seem to hang on like the good ol stock ones. Save your money and keep the stock ones. Or at least be mindful of the #8 cylinder wire. Check it often. Mine slipped off and my car felt like it had some serious power loss. Go figure...I lost 1/8 of my HP and it ran like poop. Just my .02 cents.

I run Taylor 10.4mm race wires and AC/Delco platinum plugs.The wires are good quality much better than stock.I paid about $80 for the set.Been on for about a year and no trouble.The silicone material on these wires is much heavier than stock.

The plugs you mentioned is great. I would go with the Taylor 10.4mm Thundervolts. The idle seemed smoother with the addition of those wires.
