car has 36k. never changed spark plugs or wires. How much of a difference will i get if i put a good set on there? Anyone recamend plugs or wires?

 

NGK TR55's for non supercharged, turbos and N20. Gap them at .055.
NGK TR6's for supercharged, turbos, and N20. Do not know gap size.

I run the Taylor 10.4mm wires. I have no problems with them.

 

has anyone tried the bosch quadra-tips?

I heard people were having arcing problems with taylors?

 

I read that same thread. Mine are not arcing. I believe those were on V6 models also.
I have never tried the Bosch plugs.

 

do you notice a difference between the stock, and your set-up? were is the best place to get the wires and plugs...i doubt pepboys will have them?

 

Plugs you can buy at Autozone or O'Reilly. When they look up your car, just ask for the NGK's.
Plug wires I bought from HPE, https://www.horsepowerengineering.com/shop/index.php
I looked on their site and the LS1 part is down. Just call them and they can help you out. I believe I paid like $70 for the wires. Makes the stock size small as hell.
As far as performance wise, I could not feel a "seat of the pants" feel.

 

anything at the track? im not expecting to pick up .2 or anything, but anything minimal....

 

My car has never seen the track.

 

good for you. i dont have that kind of self controll
do the wirees come with the boots?

have you heard anything about accell wires?

 

sorry cant remember the name..brain fart...but...

do the wires come wht the 'hands' that hold them in place over the valve covers? also, are they cut to the right size with boots, or do i have to cut them myself?

 

Neither plug nor wires will make your car faster. All they'll do is restore lost power. Thats why its called a tune up. I don't know whey people try to get more power from plugs, wires, and air filters.

Don't waste $ on the +4 bosch. All those "designer" plugs are gimicks. If you are paying over $2/plug you're wasting your cash.

Plug wires. I'm running Taylor now w/no probs. I ran them on my 70SS for several years w/no prob. There are other brands out there besides Taylor and MSD that are just as good. Just look for the best deal. Also don't buy into the hype of larger diameter wires. 8mm or 8.5mm will still have the same guage wire, you're just getting more insulation and your car will be no quicker.

 

I realize im not making my car faster? my comment was not phrased right.

more like...if i have bad plugs and wires now; how much power am i losing from bad plugs and wires?

 

Thats totally dependent on how bad those parts are and is vehicle specific.

 

mine are pretty bad. the were the factory crap platinum tips. they have seen a decent anount load. the tips are burned, and when i tested them im getting a pretty weak/uneven spark. ive tested the ignition, no problems there. ive just been losing some throttle respons, and it feels a bit sluggish...so im hoping this could alieveate my problems.

 

im ording stuff from summit...

NGK G-Power Platinum Spark Plugs, NGK Iridium Spark Plugs, NGK Racing Spark Plugs,

which ones...they dont have antyhing that says specifically NGK-tr55
