Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

What are the best plugs and wires for a stock motor?

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

I went back with the AC Delco Platinum plugs and a set of ACCEL Extreme 9000 wires. Runs great!

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

This is a brand new motor through GM, so I wonder if it makes a difference what plugs and wires I use?

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

I put Taylor Spiro-Pro wires and Delco plugs back in when it was almost stock and had 125k miles. It runs like a champ and am getting upwards of 28-29 mpg on the highway now with 158k.

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

I don't suppose it really matters for a stock motor but I personally would get accell extreme 9000 because there suppost to have a much higher heat tolerance (good for headers if you get em)

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

i used the taylor's 8mm and ac delco platinum plugs too, runs great :)

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

I've heard the Accel wires handling the heat from headers better than the Taylors.

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

I've been using the NGK Tr55's, and the Taylor OTVC kit from Thunder for some time now and am happy with them.

Delco platinums and accel 300+ race series, runs great but opti starten to die:(

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

As funny as it may sound to some, if I needed to do wires on my modded engine, I would buy a set of stock GM wires. I also use AC Delco platinums although I've used NGK TR5 plugs in the past and they worked well. Considerably cheaper too.

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

I agree. The stock GM wires and AC Delco platinums are the best way to go. I just bought them and woke my 136k LT1 up :D

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

My mechanic strongly recomended NOT to install the msd wires. I bought those originally and ended up taking them back. I gave you the stock plug wire #'s

Re: Best plugs and wire for stock motor?
 

I've got new AC Delco wires and Bosch platinum plugs in mine.
