Any experience with these?
I have looked at them for our LS1 TA, but never could find any decent reviews.
Thanks for any input

No sorry -- only ever used MSD

I am pretty skeptical of them.. since they appear to be glorified spark plugs..

Any info I have found on a quick google search reads like it is a "paid" review...

Save your money, the stock LS1/LS2 ignitions are good to over 600+ RWHP. Throw in a set of NGK TR55 plugs, and keep your stock wires. I've found the best overall performing wires have been stockers, verified at the track, on the dyno, and on the street.

Good advice TEK...thanks. How much do those cost?

Price is the best part...under $25 for a set of 8. You'll notice a smoother idle as well, they just need to be replaced more often than the stock platinums. I have no problem with swapping plugs every 10-15k miles, especially for the price.

I called a local autoparts store and asked if they had the NGK TR55 in stock and he said they have NGK but he didn't recognize the TR55. He asked me if I knew what the 4 digit code was on my stock plugs were...is this guy an idiot or do I really need to show them my stock plugs? :rolleyes:
