I havent changed them on the Vette yet, but I've always used Taylor spiro-pro wires and NGK TR-55 plugs on my LT1 F-bodys.

I used the stock plugs and wires from the chevy dealer. I was somewhat disappointed with the wires, I figured that they would be labeled with the plug number like the originals and fit exactly like the originals. They are not labeled and the lengths are not the same. They are certainly usable and get the job done, but next time I would probably go with some aftermarket ones that will fit just as well.

I just bought a set of Platinum IR Fusion's. This is the first time I used them so I'll have to see how they do. I'm still looking for wires

The F-body spiro pros come with 2 coil wires. One for 96-97 and one for 93-95 models. They are the proper length, but they are a little thicker than the stock wires. A tight fit in the stock wire looms. Again, I have never purchased them for a Vette.
