Hello everyone, I'm a new member to this group and I have a thousand questions and some creative ideas I'll be posting soon.
Plain and simple I'm looking for performance anywhere I can find it.
(By the way I live in an area completely deviod of good service or decent car guys)
Anyway I was wondering what are the best plugs and wirers to get(for a 96, 3.5L), where can I get them (preferably from a Canadian supplier, the exchange rate is brutal) and what will they run me (CDN, or US)
Things I was wondering are: whats better platinum or regular,one tip or four, Bosh, Autolight, Motomaster, NGK, Jacobs, any difference???
The local stores sell NGK Iridium Platinum single tipped plugs for 2.5X the price of any of their other plugs and claim they give the car noticably more hp and gas milage, any truth to this? Are they worth it.
Also wire diameter, any difference, 7.5mm, 8mm, 8.5mm, What do you recommend?. Is it possible to give our cars to much spark?
Ok just 2 more questions: 1) Will mods I make in the future require more spark, I'm looking into having the exhaust done and if its possible, ram air - short of that at least the best cold air intake I can make.
2) I hear guys talking about using MSD DIS-4 ignition systems on their cars or a similar system from Jacobs (I've read a lot of the back posts), what exactly are these systems, do they provide the gain they claim (I think I heard, about 10hp & 2mpg) Are they only needed when doing extream mods and do they require special plugs and wirers?
Thanks for any input. Sorry about the length.
