Default So which plugs and wires do I get?

The Amazingmobile http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/559523/1
has hit 36k and is ready for plugs and wires.

Any suggestions on what kind and where to get them? How about installation?

Thanks.

I'm using Magnecore wires and factory Copper Plus plugs gapped at .040. I know some others are using irridium plugs but the benefit is negigible and they are a lot more expensive. If you are planning to up boost then you will go through plugs faster. My last set lasted 10k miles before I developed a miss at high boost.

NOt decided on plugs, but I plan on the Crane wires from RaceAndStreet - they were great on my '02.

I just install Maegnacor wires last night. OE spark plugs regap to .042. What a difference it made. Do a search you find most GTs are doing this way.

Let me say my blue MOPAR wires and NGK Iridium plugs are doing just fine. I did them at same time but whichever one is doing more the idle is super smoothe and no high speed miss and the plugs are not gap sensitive like the copper ones. Have only had them one for about 5,000 miles but the wires look as good as new. Plan on changing plugs every 40,000 miles. Gas mileage up very slightly about the same miniscule amount as the switch to 5W-30 synthetic oil achieved. Wires are about $46 plugs about $40. I was charged $60 labor but it can be done easily by almost anyone with a plug wrench and patience.
