fox_forma Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Well I just got done installing my MSD 8.5mm wires and new plugs. I must say that it feels a lot better now driving. It seems a lot more responsive through the mid-range where before it seemed to lag some. The stock plugs in there were NGK double platinum plugs. I thought the tr55's were suppose to be stock? Anyway i was going to do the tr55ix plugs but just went with the regular tr55's. Didnt really feel like paying close to $60 on plugs at the time. Overall I am very pleased with the purchase, now lets just see how they respond a little over time with everything. I would def recommend this little piece of mind mod. I give it a thumbs up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.justin. Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I have them and like them, but ended up messing up #5. I'd recommend checking it periodically to make sure that the steering shaft joint doesn't mess yours up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point the coupler thing caught the wire and tore a chunk out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Plug wires are certainly a recomended mod to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron's SS Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Thought I would post my recent wire change. I went with the Taylor Thundervolt 8.2 mm wires (and NGK TR55 plugs). The Taylor wires fit excellently and also fit the stock heat shields. Plus the blue matches the truck . The throttle response is much better and I am getting 1 MPG or so better. Got them from Summit Racing for around $45, free shipping. I left the plugs at .060 gap (stock gap for the truck), is there any benefit going to .050 or .055 for a slightly modded truck?
