What plus/wires
What plugs and wires are you guys running? Im about to do my Long Tubes and I will have them off or close to it, so I figure I should switch them out if its worth it. I have always ran the Delco Ird plugs but I duno if there is anything better, am I gaining anything with an MSD wires or no, 8.5 or 10.4 mm? Thanks for the help!

I've always had real good luck with stock plugs, but the JBA PowerCables. The red JBA's are 8mm and the blue are 9mm.
I've burnt up a few sets of MSD's that weren't even touching the headers before I discovered the JBA's.

i agree that there is some advantage in wires that can withstand higher temps because they wont melt against aftermarket headers, but it can just as easily be solved with some heat shield sleevs which cost like $10 for a set vs. wires that are like $100. just trying to save you some money.

Stock plugs and wire for me.
The newer AC delco spec plugs are iridium not platinum btw.

I used this stuff for heat shielding. Seems to work ok, but it is kind of a pain to install cause it's small so you have to remove one of the boots to get it on. I've done 3 sets worth and still have a bunch left. Mine is red.
