Chip Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Anybody have any complaints bout these wires taylor 409 (pn#79205 red ones). I have just got a deal on a 2003 ss awd with 35,000 miles it doesnt really need them but i want to get all the performance out of it tha i can afford. I have put a magnaflow exhaust on and going for k and n cai, i am going to replace the plugs with delco iridium plugs when i do, then i am going to get an tune and whatever cash permits me to do???

8 UR HMI Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 u dont really need wires. especially with that low of miles its not really gonna give u a better spark. i wouldnt waste money on them. i would get a 160* stat but make sure u tell whoever u decide to get it tuned that u have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to go through everything because it set for awhile before i bought it, but it seems very well kept and just want all the possible ponies and performance possible?

70chevy03ss Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Wouldn't change plugs wire just yet but only if you want to. I changed my plugs and wires at 100K. Spend your money on a tune.. Blackbear, Wheatley, Zippy. Do some looking around on here and Im sure you will get some good ideas!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Taylor 409s are a great wire, if you get a great price on them, by all means pick them up even if you don't use them right away. You shouldn't need wires, but if you upgrade to LT headers, you will..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No downtime, he can send you a tuned PCM, then you just ship your old one back to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you buy another PCM and send yours to him. That way there is no down time.. Also check out Black bear meets. They ride with you and tune your truck as you drive...

Chip Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Cool i think i will get wires then ssek a tune, i get a little discount on parts from working in an auto parts store so i will go ahead and probably get wires and delco plugs, and see what gains it makes?

Chip Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 How will a 160 degree t-stat do if i put in in before a tune is done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70chevy03ss Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 It will be ok but I plan on doing it before the tune and then don't wait to long to get the tune.. It will just help out the tuner.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8 UR HMI Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 How will a 160 degree t-stat do if i put in in before a tune is done? i would contact wheatley, tell him ur putting a 160 stat on and whatever other mods ur doing and then when it comes in , put the 160 stat in and the pcm at the same time and there ya go.
