    I just bought a 2001 gtp and its getting crap mpg. The car has 175*** miles so I'm just doing a good maintainence on it to try and save the gas mileage, already put new fuel filter and injectors in, about to change the coolant and put in a new thermostat, but i want to put new spark plugs and wires in the car and was wondering if anyone could tell what the best set up would be? The car is a daily driver not needing performance just reliability and better mpg, any advice would help
    2001 gtp, completely stock for now...

    606's for stock, go Copper, but you'll have to change them more often than Iridiums. I have the Taylor Spiro 8.5mm and think they're good for the $.

    Skip MSD wires. They're generally regarded as being pretty bad. In my own personal experience the boots pulled off after just a few swaps. For a stock or close to stock engine the stock AC Delco wires are more than sufficient.

    Thinking about shopping with ZZP or the other guys? - Order with us instead and we'll give you a 5% off coupon code for your next order! Click here to learn how!
