#129073 OEM are not the best.

Magnecor makes the best plug wires. They last forever and they cost about the same or less as OEM and NGK. Right around $90. They are the only aftermarket plug wire company that doesn't make outrageous claims about their wires. Get the 8.5mm.

I had Magnecors on my daily driver for about 7 years and they were still on there when I sold the car.

#129793 No spark plug wires will give you any gain in power or fuel economy.

If your wires are bad, then fixing them will only return you to normal. It's pretty easy to see if your wires are bad. Watch your engine running in a dark garage.

No, you don't need any special spark plugs. Normal $2.50 Denso or NGK are what you're looking for.

People overestimate the ignition system because they don't understand it. Don't fall for any of that crap.
