Plugs and gap

Just finished some major work on my 02 vert. Blackwing air intake, Kooks long tube headers, x-pipe, converters removed, Borla exhaust. I'm going to have it dynoed , but want to put in new plugs and wires before I do. What would you recommend? NKG's gapped to 32 thousand? Or 40 thousand. Thanks to anyone who also has such a setup.

The gap is .040 and wires are up to you. I personally have Autolight iridium XP plugs, MSD Super Conductor wires and DEI titanium sleeves. I hear the GM performance red wires are also good.

When my car was a bolt on setup, I ran NGK TR55's gapped at .050 and used GMPP Red spark plug wires. Worked out fine.

When I changed the plugs and wires in a previous C5, I went with AC Delco Iridium plugs and GMPP red wires. Reasonable cost and they work very well.
