Default Spark Plug Wires and Plugs

I am installing Kooks LT's, TSP True Duals right now. What spark plug wires and spark plugs should I use.

Also in a few months I will be putting a cam in. Can I use the same wires and plugs that I get for the LT's and x pipe or do I need to change them again.

the stock wires should do just fine. everyone around here likes the NGK TR 55s for naturally aspirated engines and the TR 6 for NO2. I bought a set of brisk plugs a few months ago and am pretty happy with them but they are a bit on the expensive side at around 10 bucks each. heres a pic for you.

After already going down this road, I would say to also stick with the stock wires. Unless they're torn or damaged, you're wasting money that can be used on other mods. They have the heat shields so this will prevent you from baking the boots. I'm using NGK TR-55's and they seem to work great. Be sure to use some anti-seize on the plug threads.

I also run the NGK TR55's and Taylor 10.4mm wires. The wires are much thicker than the stock ones. And were a few bucks more than stock ones also. I bought my wires at HPE (link is in sig).
