Default Plug Wires?

I'm feeling a slight hesitation every now and then at low to mid-range RPM's (2200-3600) on acceleration. I know I need a tune, but it also feels like I may have a bad plug wire I need something to do while waiting for turkey on Thursday so I think I;ll change the plugs and wires.

What spark plugs/ plug wires is everyone running?

Thanks

I put a set of GM Performance wires and NGK Copper TR55 plugs. It was time to change as they had almost 70k on them but I did not really notice much difference as the car ran good before the change. Not an expert but if your engine was misfiring I'd think you'd see codes and/or you check engine light would be on. .02 deposited.

Default Misfire

After installing headers I experienced an intermittent misfire that was caused by a burnt plug wire. For some reason it never threw a code and the check engine light never came on.
