after 160 dollars later..its in an my cars rund great....now when i hit the gas the whole car drops in the back about 5" and the front goes up about 5" which is a cool effect...also fixed a vacuum leak and now i need some new plugs...and overgapping to .050...! my question is what plugs give better performance over the rapidfires? I want to get rid of my MSD wires but not for the 10.4 i was thinking about..maybe accel 8.8's? Comments? Thanks

I am VERY happy with my 8.8s and rapid fires. I asked around if there were better performing plugs than the rapid fires. Everyone looked at me, smiled, and said "uh uh."

I wanted to do Platinum +4s because I assumed hell, for $6 each and being made by Bosch, they should be the best, right?? Well, no one else I talked to thought so. I put the rapid fires and 8.8s in my car and immediately noticed more power. Especially with the MSD box you have, I highly recommend them.

well...i donno if people will agree, but i swear by autolite pulgs. i have them in my camaro and my car revs quick and has more power then when i had splitfires in it. also i have an uncle w/a 690 h.p. LT-1 that will only use autolite pulgs, he tried all other plugs and didn't like them, so just my opinion but in my opinion autolite makes one of the best plugs, and they are nicely priced. but just my opinion.
