Spark Plugs and Wires
I'm looking to change my spark plugs and wires, so I thought while am at it, I might as well upgrade them!!! What are the best performance plugs and wires??? I was thinking something along the lines of E3 plugs and MSD or Taylor wires! Thanks!!!!!

i decided against NGK plugs and went with the AC Delco Irridium plugs (sp?). Yes they are much more expensive and i doubt there is a real difference performance wise but i figure.. no jap **** on my car if I can help it

i thought ngk made the delco iridiums.
this was on ls1performance, its the resistance of the wires:
stock LS1 6 in. - 351 ohms
Granatelli 8mm Steel Solid Core Cable - 0.1 ohms
MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor - 71.6 ohms
Accel 8.8 300+ Ferro-Spiral Race Wire - 166.1 ohms
Jacobs Electronics EnergyCore 8.5mm - 178.3 oms
Taylor Spiro Pro 8mm Silicone - 301 ohms
Mallory Pro Sidewinder 8mm Silicone Suppression Wire - 313 ohms
Moroso Blue Maz Spiral Core 8mm - 661 ohms
Magnecor KV85 Competiton 2.5mm - 2053 ohms

And what a shame it will be when you find out that NGK makes AC Delco irridiums.
Speaking of which, I just put a set of NGK irridiums in mine. Seem fine so far.

I have the AC iridiums on mine. They run really good. I just didnt go with the NGK because when i first got the car i didnt know much about different plugs for this engine so i just went with the AC's. Wonder how the grantelli's flow so much better then the MSD's? wonder if they have radio noise.

ngk with taylor 10.4 wires...works well for me but im only at 350hp so it isn't like it's making a big difference there....there isn't a huge difference unless you are making the power for that extra spark but then you will be looking at more than just wires
