Stock wires work good. NGK wires also work pretty well too. Magnecor's are kind of hit and miss. I got NGK's for about $65

Re: Spark Plug Wire Choices... Need Help..

The above post is my cookie cutter response. A good rule of thumb to follow. I would prefer ngk to stock, but stock is cheaper for me with my brother discount. Time for me to upgrade though i Think, I have to run a pretty small gap to get them to work at high boost.
