Plugs And Wires
Equals a happy northstar driver! Woot. NGK plugs, and wires, massive improvement in throttle response, gas mileage, and overall performance. Also no misfire at startup! Recommended highly.

Re: Plugs And Wires
Soo you're telling me that you aren't running A/C Delco plugs and wires? That is frowned upon here. lol!
I'm interested. What part #'s you got for us?

I too am a sinner! I am running NGK TR55IX Iridium plugs on my '01 DTS. Runs better than the stock plugs, which by the way, were Denso not Delco.

Re: Plugs And Wires
This isn't going to turn into one of those "The Earth round and not flat?" things is it? If so, I'll be mad I just spend so much on delco.

Re: Plugs And Wires
The Earth is FLAT I tell you. I'm not brand Loyal so NGK is probably what I'll get and the Delco wires will have to work since Magnacore/Accel/etc..don't make specific sets for our cars unless somebody knows of a set that will work.

Re: Plugs And Wires
Yeah, but the red plug wires are worth at least 20hp

Yeah right. But if you mixed those low resistance high voltage wires with a set of Accels 45k volt coil packs and some corectly gapped NGK iridium plugs and had it tuned with Westers chip it could be good for over 40hp at the crank. Mind you that is all the previous parts and the chip combined. Maybe even more power is a possibilty with a good dyno tune but we will have to see on that one.

They have a lifetime warranty and you get some cool stickers too! I had them on my TurboCoupe.
