Well, I don't know what is the best type of spark plugs or wires to get besides the orginal GM parts for it. You know, something a little better then the original. I wanna try the K&N products for my car. My car has that "whining" sound when I start it up (until the car sits for about 3 -5 minutes), then I don't hear it no more. My car sometimes don't act like it wants to crank, just minor problems that I know are not suppose to be happening. I haven't had a tune-up on my car for about 2 years and now I am feeling the effect from it. I know, I know, don't get on me about not properly maintaining the car, LOL, I just wanna give the car an overhall.

hopefully that doesnt mean u havent done an oil change in 2 years...anywho the plug wires in our cars are very good. if your basically stock stick with the stock plugs from gm (or autolite 106s i think) and the fuel filter if uve never had one done. also get ur battery checked. air filter is a good idea at this point as well

Id say do all of that, and also i like to run through an STP cleaner through the gas every 5000ish miles. You actually can feel the difference. (along with octane booster if I'm bored haha.
