Default Spark Plugs and Wires

I have the stock wire on the car with about 64k miles on them. I also have NGK TR55 Iridium plugs that have 20k miles on them. I am installing PRC 5.3l Stage 2.5 heads and and am wondering if I should change them out or not. I saw a few postings talking about a colder plug. Let me know your opinoins.

Thanks,
Steve

No need for a colder plug if you're n/a. I would go ahead and change the plugs while you have it torn down, they're cheap anyways. If you're looking at different wires I've always ran the Taylor 8mm wires and have had no problems with them, and MSD makes good wires too.

Yes depending on CR you might want to run a colder plug. I ran TR6s in both my cam only Z28 and H/C TA
