Default is this a good combo all at once?

I have enough for headers, at least the FLPs ive opted to get unless someone can change my mind. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> But, and i know this sounds stupid, but i just had an idea to hold off on getting them till i have enough money for them as well as a MAFT, new plugs wires and soon after an ASP pulley. Just though it would be cool to "feel the little bit of power i would get" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ,uh kind of. What do you guys say? Ah, what the hell, get em' anyways? And as far as the rest of my exaust i have the centermounted (SLP DD)

you might as well do the plug wires at the same time as the headers and save yourself some trouble later. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

If you're wanting to go with another set of plugs and wires you need to do it when you swap the headers. They have to come out for the install anyways. I'm still running the stock wires, but I did change to NGK TR-55 spark plugs when the headers went in. Beyond that, I would go ahead and get them. You'll be out $16 for a set of NGK's and ~$60 if you want to get a set of wires. You'll feel a nice SOTP difference with the headers on, especially if you install the ORP's. I picked up 20 RWHP at peak, but the average gain in HP and TQ was pretty significant across the board.
