Well, if it were me I would have changed the wires too. Are they original, and how many miles on the car?

Other than that, I've read that our cars don't like the Bosch plugs, that could be your problem right there.

^^agreed bosch plugs dont get along with the ls1. i know it sounds like a pain the ass, but go with a different set of plugs and change the wires as well. also did you gap the plugs?

no gap on the plugs

pull 'em and check the gap on them. it should be .060. you can get the little sparg plug tool at walmart and all the auto stores for like $2

I'd replace the wires too, the stockers are now 10 years old!

A set of MSD wires will run you 55 or so from the WS6 Store, that's where I got mine.
