Well recently I installed 7.5mm Autolite Premium Silicone Wires and TR55s...havent noticed that much of a difference from my Double Platinum Bosch'* with AC Delco 7mm wires...
FYI
anyone with an LN3...anything over 7mm will NOT fit in the front retainer...heh..mine is like bulging...but hey...it works...plus they are silicon...so they are SUPER heat resistant...

I have been looking for 8mm wires but Napa and Autozone dont carry them.Auto zone said they could order a set for 80 bucks.

8mm wires only buy you more insualtion which you don't need. We rarely short through the insulation with good wire routing. 8mm wires are difficult to get through the OEM retainer as well.

i kicked it up a notch and went with the TR55IX NGK iridium plugs. I have Delco Double Platniums in there before and i noticed a big difference. I'll probably swing by NAPA and pick up some wires. My Autolite Professionals from my store just don't seem very well made.

I went up to Napa tonite and grabbed a set of Belden max premium wires along with platinum NGK TR55GP'* (stock #3403) - are these a good match for my Bonnie?
I already have my ceramic brake bads now i just got to get a decent set of rotors.

Here'* a link to an excellent thread with lots of information. The first post talks specifically about gapping the NGK plugs

Thanks for the link.
Well i put in the Plat NGK TR55'*,along with the Belden 7mm wires and everything seems fine.The old plugs were AC Delco Plat,they were getting old but not real bad yet.
Changed the oil and put in Synth blend in along with the old trusty fram oil filter.
Next step this weekend im going to do the brakes (ceramic,along with slotted rotors) and the fuel filter.
