Wires / Plugs for Kooks Headers
I've been searching the forums and can't seem to get a definitive answer on what is the best wires to use with Kooks headers and spark plugs with a mild cam.
2004 Corvette LS1 - I've seen people use GM performance red wires and Taylor wires but I don't know if the Kooks will create heat that will require a different wire. Looking at NGK plugs versus the AC Delco plugs.
What are you guys using?
Thanks,

I use the GMPP red wires with AC Delco plugs and the factory heat shields with my TSP headers. If anything the Kooks should be further away from the wires, being an overall better design...

So if I dyno 450 hp then I will need one range colder spark plug? If so what would you recommend?
Thx

As mentioned above the GMPP red wires and the stock head range AC/Delco iridium spark plugs. You don't have to think about a one range colder plug unless you are past 400 rwhp and/or running a power adder (blower, turbo or nitrous, If you would like you can use the spark plug wire sleeves to protect the wires. The very best are the DEI Titanium one in either 6" or 8" lengths.

NOTE: ACDelco Spart plug 41-985 has been replaced with 41-110
Whats wrong with the plugs you have know. i put 85k on my stock plugs before i changed them??
Or if you want to save money. Just go with NGK BR6.
