Plugs and Plug Wires

Anyone have any recommendations on new plugs and plug wires?

Thanks for the help.

5th Gen Maximas don't have any plug wires... they use coil packs.

I just switched to Copper plugs about 2 weeks ago and they gave me a nice gain over the OEM plugs. I'll be changing mine every 10k or so with copper plugs.

How do you know that the copper plugs gave you a gain? Is it a "seat of the pants" gain, or have you dynoed the car?

I had 60k on my OEM plugs and Copper plugs are better for power as it is.

I have NGK coppers waiting to be installed. I'll probably wait until 50-55k. I'm at 44k now.
