Default new wires and plugs

Thinking about replacing wires and plugs, running ruff. Should I go with OEM products or is there something better to make my vette run like new?

MSD 8.5 wires, ACDelco Rapidfire plugs, but thats not all that will be required to run like new... Time, cap, IAC, TPS, air, FP, Injectors, all are part of the puzzle...
Maybe more info on how its running and whats going on will help diag the problem.

and you only need 1 post to get your questions answered.....

If you want wires to fit the stock looms and look essentially stock, try the TPIS wire set.

Get stock A/C Delco spark plugs, cut back the ground electrodes (on my site) and set the stock gap.

As for "run like new", hmmmm....
