Default Spark Plug & Ignition Wire Recommendations?

Hi All,

I'm looking to perform a tune-up on my 2000 Coupe. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good spark plugs and ignition wires? Thanks for your help!

I agree except I went with the LS7 wires to get the 90 degree end fitting.

Thanks for the referral. We sell many of the GMPP red wires and the AC Delco Iridium spark plug setups.

You can not beat the GM Performance wires for cost vs quality. Wires do NOT make HP. NOTHING is gained HP wise thru spark plug wires or spark plugs.

Gene and Patrick have excellent price and sell a quality product and have very good service.. Stick with the GM stuff and you will be golden.

Here you go:http://www.mcssl.com/store/cc-perfor...81a6a08596362b

The best wire and plug combo on the market hands down!!

MSD are a superior wire with features ( hi heat silicone, multi-angle plug end, superior EMI suppression and the lowest resistance of any helicoil wire on the market at 40 ohms )that others do not have. We offer them with NGK or AC Delco plugs for an unbeatable package deal.

LSx powered vehicles have been using these for many many years now... Other wires break where the MSD wont break and this is the biggest issue with other wires. They use a single crimp system that fails when it gets over manipulated... You can't see this, its internal to the wire, and what you get it an intermittent skip or miss and end up pulling your hair out trying to figure out what is wrong with your car. Our/MSD wires wont do that and they are guaranteed for life !
