Default plugs & wires

I had a previous post in C5 Tech. The general consensus is that NGKTR55 plugs and MSD wires are the way to go. Where is best/cheapest place to buy them? Thanx in advance.

Lingenfelter has Magnecore 8.5 mm wires for LS1 Corvette for $54.95. Mid America charges $99. I did a lot of searching on the internet and nobody came close to Lingenfelter's price. I just got mine. It only took 3 days to ship at ground rate. The wires don't look anything like the photo on the website.

I think the "IX" is the irridium plug. I've heard most go with the straight TR55 plugs.

PFYC MSD wire set: http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.m...y_Code=VTUNDER

JEGS.com wire set - p/n: 121-3281-9: http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...42&prmenbr=361

I want to do the same, just have not had time.
Best of luck and have fun.
