I couldn't find the NGK's awhile back when I was looking. I went w/ Autolite Platinums (as a "back-up") and haven't had any issues. However, from the reviews, I would still find the TR55's. As far as wires, the stock ones are great pieces and shouldn't need replacing just for a performance upgrade. However, if you're planning on changing them anyway, go with MSD as a first choice. They're available in red and black now and you can order them from Autozone for about $60. MSD makes the best ignition products and you can't beat the price with a stick. Chris

Unless you want the cosmetics the stock wires are quite good and shouldn't need changing unless they read higher than 700 ohms resistance. (Doubtful)

I'm not a big fan of changing plugs so I went with TR55IX iridium long life plugs and dynoed 316 HP (stock) soon after. So they must be working well.

A lot of information can can be found at: http://www.sparkplugs.com
I bought my plugs there.
