I plan on using the TGK's when I change mine. Anyone have a good wire preference?

Stock wires will last for a long time....a good 100k miles out of them.

I know the stock wires will last a while.. but are they as good as an aftermarket set? I have always heard to go ahead and replace wires when you replace plugs anyway.

I plan on running NGK-TR55 in my car. What gapping should I go with? Only some bolt ons are planned in the near future.

NGK-TR6 plugs are good...if you need a colder plug, like if you run nitrous(which I do).

NGK-TR55 is the plug you should use with simple bolton cars. Generally, for every 50 hp that you add you need to decrease the gap by .004. If you add 150 hp over stock you should decrease the gap .012. So .060 is the stock gapping...and you decrease the gap from there depending on how much hp you have added.
