Just changed mine. NGK tr6's and OEM wires.

 

Yeah, I really don't like to badmouth products... but... The two sets I had, had notorious problems.

I wasn't all ham-fisted when removing them either. I was much more abusive with the stock wires that I had to put back on for a while.

 

I am looking at the NGK TR55GP platinums or the TR55IX iridiums. I have a relatively stock motor. The only mods I have are a Superchips programmer and an UPD. Which would be best for my application?

 

Either of those, or regular TR55's.... the expensive ones only add longevity (I believe).

 

I've actually heard bad things about the MSDs, which is why I was leaning toward the Taylors. Have you run across anyone else with issues with Taylors (not doubting your experience, but entertaining the idea that perhaps you got a couple of batches of bad luck all at once...).

 

I hear ya - it'd be MY luck!

I honestly haven't heard any other bad reports from either side of the fence...

The Taylor guy I talked to said that my wires sounded like they were improperly crimped. Maybe a machine was out of tune or something.

OH, another thing I noticed with the wires though - the coil-end of the wires... the distace of the metal clip to the end of the boot was different on most of the wires. Some wires didn't get a nice positive "click" when I slid them on, no matter how hard I forced them. It could be related to the above problems of mine.

The MSD's got a nice double-click on every single one of them.

 

Hmm, decision decisions...guess it's back to researching for me.

Blaster, I've heard overwhelmingly the Iridiums are overkill, the regular NGK TR's are fine.

 

Sorry. Again!

 

Thanks guys. I am going go with the TR55GPs and MSD wires.

 

I already bought the Talors and Iridiums and I am just waiting to put them on. I am waiting on one plug to be sent because the tip was cracked. For some reason one box of 4 were gapped all over the place (0.35, 0.25,0.53 and no gap). When I separated the one without any gap I notice the tip was all cracked and called Thunder for a replacement a week and a half ago. Still waiting.
