Default Plug and Wire help

I started my header install. I got all of the plugs out, but broke one of the wires on the drivers side.

1. What plugs should I get? (currently has NGK "R" TR55 V Power)

2. What wires should I get, MSD super conductor? (currently has Packard)

Links to recommendations would be great!

Also should I put the headers in before, or after I put the new plugs in?
Thanks!

Edit, new question:
Should I reuse my stock header bolts, or the ones that come with my headers, and what value do I torque them to?

NGK TR55's and MSD Super Conductor is what I got.. definetly noticed throttle response when I did my plug/wire change but then again my number 6 was the only bad one and it was the hardest one (number 8 isnt as bad as people make it out to be)

X3 on the tr55 and the nice thing about the MSD wires are the boot is flexible so you can bend them so they don't touch the headers and burn.

I'm running the same plug and wire set-up and my car runs a lot more smooth, although I'm pretty sure the plugs I took out at 142,000 miles were the factory ones lol. But a guy on here tested all the wires and Granatelli proved best.

Thanks guys! one more question:
Should I reuse my stock header bolts, or the ones that come with my headers, and what value do I torque them to?
