Default plugs and wires?

whats up guys? i just brought my car into the shop and i am getting pacesetter LT's and SLP loudmouth I with no cats and i am also getting MSD wires and TR6 plugs and i am doing that cause they have to pull that stuff out when they put the headers in and they are a pain to change so i figured i should do it all at once, but what i was wondering is what will the new wires and plugs do for me? i am have a 99 Z28 M6 if that matters let me know thanks!

Why a TR6, those are more commonly used in nitrous applications (they are colder than stock, and could cause some fouling) the stock replacement is a TR55
The plugs and wires might make it run smoother, but likely you won't get a power increase

its not neccessary to remove the plugs for the pacesetter lt's. at least not on the cars ive put them on. i did have to remove the furthest back on the pass side though.

The loudmouth sounds great with the cats but most every one complains about the sound of the loudmouth after ORY. For me it was magnaflow.

did u let her rip with open headers at all before you got the Y pipe merge up to the headers??? its like that only a little quiter, if you have a cam they sound awsome through an open cutout, just unbelievable loping sound its awsome.
