spark plugs and wires

im thinking about upgrading my spark plug wires and spark plugs and was wondering what was the best setup, or what other people were running.

The only thing this will get you is 2-3mpg more. Here is the best setup:

Plugs: Go down to autozone and buy the cheap NGK ones
Wires: OEM honda wires

And please don't bump this again. This is not an opinion, it is a fact.

Re: spark plugs and wires (cambopheonix56)

You don't have a 13 gallon tank. You have an 11.9 gallon tank.

Autozone doesn't carry NGK stuff. But kragen does. Vice versa with Denso.
