Re: Engine Turn-up Parts (vinnies87)
Always replace the cap & rotor as a set.
I run the HyperTech coil/cap/rotor combo, TPIS wires and cut-back (details on my site, link in my sig below) AC Delco plugs gapped to .047". The result is reliable spark to well over 5,000rpm, a little better fuel economy and a gain of 8-10chp.
Though the MSD SuperConductor wires have a lower resistance, I prefer the TPIS wires for a stock look under hood and they fit the stock looms.
HyperTech setup - from Summit Racing
TPIS wires - from TPIS
AC Delco plugs - from local parts store
