    a good way to gauge if you need plugs or not is to pull one and check the gapping. if the gap has increased over the time, you should probably get new ones. my plugs are gapped really bad right now, (pretty sure theyre original at 83k) but ive been putting off getting new ones until i install the headers.

                if you have red stuff already i would stick to red, but blue would defintely work too.

                  go red, and any plug that doesn't say ac or champion should work well (at the dealerships we used to remove ac plugs because of fouling under warranty, and replace them with autolite)

                    I have been using AC delco plugs for forever. They have always worked great for me. We also have red wires, they are by Taylor and are a build-your-own type, you have to cut the wires to the length you want, and then crimp the ends on.

                      witch do you guys think is beter msd or taylor, or are they both the same except for the price the msd's are 60 and the taylors are 40.

                      and also whats the difference between the 8 mm and the 8.5 mm

                            no noticable gain to either style (zoomer at zz performance has found zero gains with aftermarket wires over stock, unless the stock are needing replaced

                              i think bluw eould look better with your car color...

                              I plan on getting NGK plugs and Taylor wires this spring. Mayhem really needs those, along with some other little things.
