Plugs in a stock LT1? Tune up ?'s.

[Frankie]

Alright, so if I'm going to bother fixing up my wife's car, I might as well give it the full tuneup with some plugs while I'm doing the wires. What kinda plugs do these space motors use? I normally stick stock AC Delco plugs in my smallblocks, but they're copper and get ate up quickly. I've heard of people sticking NGK plugs in the LT1's, but there are a lot of NGK nutswingers. What the real deal on plugs?

Also, what else goes along with a tuneup on these cars? Obviously not a cap and rotor, since there's an Opti down there. Fuel filter, PCV, air filter, and some O2 sensors come to mind. I miss anything?

Id stick with the factory ones or the NGKs. There is a cap and rotor for the opti setup, but you might as well just replace the whole thing.

call that number i gave you frank for the opti....240 bucks shipped

plugs NGK TR55's gapped at stock, forget the actual gap but should be labeled on your fan shroud sticker

I'd hold off on o2's since it's obd2, = 4 o2's and at $60 a piece that's a hefty penny for unnecessary stuff

stock gap is .o5"

[Frankie]

Hey, who said she got a diamond? I just can't stand to see a decent car running like shit.

Oh, and the car definitely needs O2 sensors, they're throwing SES codes.
