    I always use Delco, I figure that's what GM builds them with so that's what it's meant to run with. I would just change anything that's general maintenance. Check all fluids out, air, fuel filters. Plugs, wires, Never hurts to clean up electrical connections as well.

    NGK irridium plugs, 10mm plug wires, Seafoam block, head, and fuel system. Synthetic oil (better for engine), rotate tires, new belts, and replace your coil pack with MSD coils.
