Hey guys, this is my first tune up on my 'new' engine (rebuilt 10K ago (a year ago). I want to replace it with performance wires, plugs, cap and rotor.
Here's my questions: Plugs: I'll prolly use NGK Iridiums Wires: Please advise on a good 'performance' set?? Cap and Rotor: Is a performance set worth it?? I had a P&P on the cyl head along with a full header to back exhaust. I have cams on the way. My header causes the engine bay to get hot so I need performance heat resistant wires if possible too. What do you guys think?? |

OEM means Toyota parts. Get your wires, cap, rotor, oil filters, etc there. Develop a relationship with your parts guy. Maybe he will give u a discount after a while, mine did(25% off). But, use OEM all the way and NGK plugs from a parts store.
