Post Need advice on choosing plugs & wires

First off, I'm guessing I need NGK TR55's.. Seems to be the plug of choice. I don't blast my car every second I get--will they last awhile? 20-25,000 miles? Also, need a good set of wires, not too expensive though. Let me know what you guys think. THX

Cool

I use AC Delco Rapidfires.They last a good 36k and are GM spec.I also use Taylor 10.4mm race wires.The aftermarket wires like Taylor,MSD,and Accel are actually cheaper than stock wires.I paid $65 for my wires when Autozone wanted $95 for stockers.Good luck.

defintely recommend the Taylor 10mm wires, high quality and take up less room, easier to put on and take off than stock - which simplies work under the hood and future upgrade plans.

Putting long tube headers on my car made it easier to get to the plugs and wires. Easier maintenance! So use that as an excuse to go out and get yourself some LT headers!
