    Agreed.

    New Lifetime warranty plug wires from your local auto parts store.

    Autolite plugs...probably 606's or 605's...gapped at .050".

    Done and done.

    Stock pulley, wants hotter plugs.

    TR6's are what I use when spraying a vehicle.

    With that being said 605's. If you drop to a 3.4 pulley then I'd recommend some AL104's.

    and thats really only cuz i got em for like 80 to my door brand new...

    do I like them? yes (i got the black ones though)

    are they overkill? probably...

    with your mods I would just go with stock or some 8mm taylors...

    No.

    Goes like this.

    ACD Factory replacements/AL606's
    AL605's
    AL104's/NGK TR55's
    TR6's
    AL103's
    AL103R's

    TR6's are the common choice for people who are past a 3.4" setup but not quite in that "crazy range" with a 3.0" or lower where the 103's are successful

    Dont want to start new thread and just want a confirmation before i go buy stuff in the next couple days.

    I have 01 GTP with intake so autolite 605's would be best with stock wires or taylor and gapped at 0.50 ?

    If i cant get the autolites out here what would be my next best choice for the basically the same plug? and would it also be gapped at 0.50
