Spark Plugs
I need new spark plugs, has anyone used the new E3 plugs. Are they all that they are said to be, and worth 6 bucks a plug, what other ones are there?

Stock wires are fine. If you really have a hankering for aftermarket wires, I don't trust anything but Magnecor.

Taylors seem to be hit and miss - some people have no problems with them, but others experience problems.....I know mine gave me misfires all over the place.
I didn't care for the construction quality of MSD wires.
