Default best wire/plug combo for nitrous use

I am currently spraying a 100 wet shot, occasionally,
and I changed the plugs NGk Tr6s for safety,
so should I get new wires and which ones?

thanks

I was running the MSD wires but they were always a pain to tell if there are clicked on or not. My car on the scanner kept showing I was having random misfires on a few cylinders. I damaged one of my wires(not sure how), the connector that clicks on the plug broke in half(the wire was NOT ripped out of the connector, but the connector actually broke in half) and part of it was stuck on the plug. I just switched over to Taylor wires and couldn't be more happy. You can actually feel when the wires clicks on(very clear and concise when it clicks) and they go on/off much easier. I no longer have the random misfires on different cylinders. Not positive the misfires were related to the wires but thats all that changed and there gone now. I use TR6 plugs as well and never had a problem with them.

EDIT: I had no clue that I was having misfires, the engine seemed to run great. The misfires only showed up on the scanner(in datastream mode) and never threw a code. They would only happen when I was at WOT/reving the motor and it would switch between cylinders.

The MSD 8.5 mm super conductors are the only ones that I've seen.
