Default Spark Plugs / Spark Plug Wires

What brand spark plug wires & plugs do you have? I think its time I replace mine. 95 LT1 70,000 miles.

I like the Bosh Platinum (regular platinum) plugs. They last for a long time and you probably won't have to replace them again unless you keep the car for years and drive another 100000 miles or so.
I like the Taylor plug wires. Get them from Summit racing for about $50.00. They look good, boots are easy to remove, fit right and look good if you get a color you like (Blue for me). Plus they will last the 100000 miles like the plugs.

Of course this assumes it is a daily driver and not a race car.

For a stock LT1 I would go with NGK TR55's for plugs, and pretty much any decent wire...MSD, Taylor, stock...they'll all work

AC Delco wires and AC plugs which I change at 20,000 miles and I can feel the difference.
