What plugs and wires ?

Post by failure »

I remember reading that the supercharged cars don't like certain spark plugs. What should I get as of wires and plugs?

I run NGK TR55's and Belden wires from NAPA. I have no reason to change.

Factory calls for copper. You'd want a cool burning plug to prevent KR. The hotter the plug burns, the greater the chance for pre-detonation. I've seen alot of the 3800 sites and builders recommend using Autolite 103s or 104s. I'm running 103s in mine with Napa Beldin wires.

Just go with the basic AC-Delco copper core plugs that came in it from the factory. I also concur with the NAPA/Belden Wires.
