info for a newbie

Post by mdrew »

im still getting the hang of the search on this forum, not what I am used to. I have some question that Im having a hard time finding the answers to. What are the best spark plugs to use, wires. im looking for a link to the intense fwi intake. I am used to LT1 engines and know that are finicky with some things and just wondered if these engines or cars have the same things. brands they run better with over other. so far Ive gathered no bosch wires. thanks guys

Alot of guys run Autolite 606 copper plugs if they are stock. They run great in our cars. I'm using factory AC Delco Iridiums in mine. You can use those too, but they are expensive and don't make any performance increase over regular copper plugs. NEVER PLATINUM, don't work well with our waste spark ignition systems. The best wires to use are NAPA Beldens Gold wires.

Here a link to the Intense FWI

The NAPA Belden wires are actually Blue.

Don't use Bosch parts on this car, period.
