I just put NGK TR-55's in mine this weekend with the MSD 8.5mm wires. It rocks, noticable difference indeed.
FYI, you can order the MSD wires from Summit (www.summitracing.com) that's what I did. $58 and free shipping.

T.T.T. I have a question,
I just bought Bosch plugs, just the normal ones not the 2's, 3's or 4's. I bought them because the store ran out of NGK and I had my headers off so the timing was right. I spent like $20 or something on all 8 plugs. Question is, should I keep these? Or get NGK TR55's or NGK Tr6's?

If your just putting on intake and long tubes I would recommend the Delcos. They seem to be really good plugs and they are what came in the engine. The only reason to go with another plug IMO is if you are spraying and need a colder plug or want a hotter plug for some crazy reason. The delco plug is plenty of spark for what you are talking about and they will last a long time. I got 110,000 out of my stock delcos and frankly didn't notice much difference when I changed them.
