NGK Iridium IX gap? *AND* what wires? I picked up a set of NGK Iridium IX's today and don't know what to gap them at, or if they're good plugs for my application (close to stock). I also picked up a set of store-brand wires (Omnispark?) Should I return them and pick up something better? Or will they be fine?

never heard of them. I'd get rid of them and go to WS6store.com and get Accell 300+ wires. They are AWESOME and if your's likes to arc out the wires then it's a good investment to get them to stop. Gap on the plugs i believe should be about .045. But not 100%

I agree, ditch the wires. I never buy store brand for my stuff. Unless it needs something and I don't plan to keep either the vehicle or the part, for very long.

Regarding the plugs, they should be gapped from the factory. If you're a stock or near stock car, then a TR5 with a .050" gap should be great. Get a gap tool just to double check, but I'm pretty sure they should already be gapped.
