I use the AC Delco Iridiums and GMPP performance wires on my car - very happy with them.

GMPP performance wires
Same setup and very happy with them. I changed out the plugs first and it just wasn’t running as smooth as I hoped after the engine warmed up. Decided to change out the wires because even though they looked okay, I didn’t know when they were installed (car had 124K miles). I swapped them out with the GMPP performance wires and it ran as smooth as a sewing machine. Great combo.

FANCY high dollar Wires and plugs WILL NOT ADD HP/TQ.
A good quality plug and ignition wire will RESTORE the potential of what you already have.
Like others have stated, I use the GM Performance RED wires and AC Delco iridium plugs. Price, quality and performance are excellent
The GM Performance wires are well constructed, fit 100% and last a long time without any issues.
I don't like the MSD wires because the boots are very soft and tear easily.

AC Delco makes basically the same plug with your choice of double platinum or iridium.
Iridium (part # 41-110) is less than $1 more than platinum (part # 41-962) so that's what we use. It can potentially help a rough running car better than platinum.

I used the cheapo ngk tr5 in my car when it was stock/lightly modded and now use the tr6, both work great and are roughly $20 for a set of 8... not saying the delco iridiums are bad plugs, they aren't, but they also aren't 3 times as good as the ngk's in my opinion
