At the moment I'm putting this same setup on my car with the Pacesetter long tube headers. Lots of people have been running them without any issues.

NGK TR55's with MSD 8.5 wires is my setup and I love it Just make sure you gap them down from the huge .055 gap they come with unless your getting platinums.
