I use NGK TR55 plugs and MSD 8.5 Super Conductor wires and have no complaints.

Magnecor KV85 wires with Bosch Platinums here. Check the web for pricing on wires. Many times there are vendors selling at much lower prices than some of the more well known "Corvette" sites. HTH

What your looking for in a plug wire is QUALITY! Your NOT going to gain any HP by changing wires unless yours are totaly shot. Then your only going to get back the performance that the bad wire lost!

Look for nice tight fitting boots and high quality silicone wires. I used Magnacore and have been very happy.

I am able to use my stock heat shields with them!

There is nothing wrong with what the GM engineers have designed
for the car. Get the GM HP wires and the GM iridium plugs you can't
go wrong.

I agree on the GM parts.
My first plug change at 100,000 I used NGKs - they only lasted 55,000.
I went back to stock GM plugs.
