I had great luck with Taylors and NGK TR-55's gapped to stock, no issues, thats on a basic bolt on car, but with yours I'd almost consider TR-6's when you near the 400rwhp mark, its a consideration.

Its not the best prices, but I always went to Thunder Racing, easy to search and shop website. Actually most auto parts stores keep NGK's and cost about the same as websites. I would get the plug wires from one of the sponsor, I have used http://www.thunderracing.com

Ive used both MSD and Taylors, with the plug boot and headers (jet hot LT's and Pace Setter Shorties), the MSD tend to melt the boot, the # 5 and #6 wires needed to be routed uniquely. Id take a longer wire, have it from the boot, faceing the firewall, then have it from the boot got 2-3 inches, then come back and under the spark plug and boot and zip tied to keep it away from primaries, I also took a lil elec tape that kept the wire loop tight.

It was the only way I could do it with wires going down and around the motor.I hate over the valve cover setups so I went this route.

How about this wire and loom package at the bottom of this web page, the one with blue wires on the right?

How come you don't like over the top setups?

looks easy in the pic but you have an accessory bracket on the passanger side which is the ultimate PITA< the Belt tensioner is a VERY right area. The driver side isnt as bad since there isnt too much in the way.

Same here OTVC Taylors and NGKs from Tunderracing.
They work awesome.
I also put heat sleeves around the base of the wires to protect them from my LTs.
I got those at a local parts store for $20
