Plugs & Wires Question
What kind of improvements can I expect from the NGK TR55's? Also, which wires do you guys prefer, the Taylor brand or The GM Performance wires?
Which MSD ignition works best?
thanks
Zack

Re: Plugs & Wires Question (y2k02c5)
Go with NGK TR55 Copper plugs
and
Magnecor Wires.
If your unsure about what kind of wires to use see my post in this thread:

Also see the C5 tech section for a "how to" I did regarding installation.

Re: Plugs & Wires Question (y2k02c5)
I've gone w/ NGK TR55 plugs & MSD 8.5mm wires. I changed wires because stock ones kept coming off plugs. The MSD wires have held onto plugs as if glued to them. Regards..

kewlbrz, I always see high remarks from you about the magnecor wires. What is different/better about them and is there a CF vendor who carries them? Thanks.

Re: Plugs & Wires Question (bean0820)
Glad I saw this, was seriously considering them. Think I will go with the Magnecor. How the heck do you get the old ones off? I can't get them to budge, even though the car only has 1000 miles on it :eek:

Re: Plugs & Wires Question (vettenuts)
the Magnecor wires are an excellent choice, vettenuts. :yesnod: I've had them on my FRC for about 6 months and am very pleased.
As for the factory wires, just grab hold and pull. Alittle twisting may also help. Some of them are very difficult to get off especially #7. Man you just can't get a grip on that one at all :(
