spark plugs

**aviationphotog** · 05-10-2009, 08:44 AM

Hello from Texas, have 02 SS with lots of bolt ons, hyper-tech and will have time to change the dreaded spark plugs (G.M'er) this next month. Wondering what working the best in lightly modified engines. Thanks, Henry

i like the TR55's, i have tried a couple of different plugs and found these to work the best with my set-up. do you still have stock wires/plugs?

They were BS testings and took down.

Resistance doesnt matter in such short a wire of the LSX series.

Wow thats way to much for wires

**BADASS2000SS** · 05-10-2009, 09:38 PM

I bought and use Nology wires. No complaints here and they have held up great over the years. They do require a ground for a each wire though!

I have vision motorsports, blue 10.5mm, no problems, look cool, $45 ebay.

NGK TR5IX & Crane Cam "Fire Wires"

Iridium gets me by having to change plugs every 12K miles when using the TR55's

Is the Hypertech really not worth it? I bought one for around 100 bucks' and could tell a hell of a difference on the throttle response and gas ...

MSD Wires and TR55s' here

+1 here, I just changed over this weekend, and what a hugh difference these plugs, wires, also a new fuel filter, and the airlid box mod did. So far my 98 T/A has been all stock. I guess I did it's first mod. Can't wait till headers new cat back, MSD Coil packs, etc.....

Look around here somee. People have actually had it hurt their performance

**Dr.Crash** · 05-11-2009, 10:12 AM

Ya IMO if you need a tune, frost is the way to go at $125. Hypertech and the other brands have been know to decrease performance just a doom mentioned

I have them on my car, picked them up when they were on sale for $100 from Summit Racing

I've been very happy with them, and yes, resistance does matter even on a short wire. Less resistance = less voltage drop = stronger spark.

As for plugs, I'd reccommend the AC Delco Iridiums, or the NGK Iridium IX's. I believe they are the same plug, since NGK makes the Iridiums for AC Delco. I have them in my car and they've been great. The hold their gap much better than conventional plugs and last a lot longer.
