You will probably get a few different opinions and viewpoints, but one of the most popular choices seem like the NGK TR55's. I just put mines in this past weekend with MSD 8.5mm Super Conductors, I'm pretty happy with how they perform so far. Throttle response and MPG's are definitely better.

Thats what I was thinking I called autozone and they said they wouldn't fit my car, I have ordered some msd wires though from what I've heard they are pretty good

Like their computer said that TR55's were not compatible with my car

Firecore50s ? Who are they made by?

Agreed. I bought from them. Well worth the price.

I'm looking on nasty performance and I was just wondering do you think the heat sleeve option is worth the price? ($60) I believe. Thanks

Cool sock option is $54 and worth it if the wires are close to headers

I went with Delco Iridiums. I figure a plug is pretty much a plug, as long as it's not one of the gimmicky ones.

I left my shields off too, and 3 years and 40k miles later, no problems so far. I'm running stock manifolds though.
