Spark Plug Question....
I've been looking into purchasing new spark plugs because I changed mine out yet. Is there a good brand anyone recommends, and a good type of spark plug wires to get as well? thanks in advance.... :cool:

I use AC Delco Rapidfire #5s gapped at 0.035" right now. I will be pulling them out though becuase they are platinum tipped and that is not good for nitrous.

I've got the same setup as vader. Been running that combo for about 2 years now, no problems till today,when one came in contact with my headers.
