after installing NGK TR55IX Plugs
I installed the plugs and changed the wires to MSD 8.5, now the car idles a little sluggish. And hesitates when i give it gas while driving. Does the car need time to re-learn the new plugs and wires. I'm gonna recheck the wires tommorow morning.

Hmmm, that's not what I got after installing TR55IX and Taylor Thundervolt. The engine idles just like before regardless the huge gap I set the plugs to.

Recheck the tops of the plugs themselves. I had a similar problem when I did a switch with these a year ago, and the tops of the plugs had come unscrewed - I never thought to check them for anything. Who would? But they can back all of the way out if you don't tighten them well.
