Which type of spark plugs and wires

I just bought an 01 ss with 76k miles and I wanted to do a small tune up on the vehicle. If anyone can help me and recommend me which brand of spark plugs and wires to install. At this time the car is all stock.

I run the tr-55/MSD combo from 99blancoSS on here. He has a good shipped price for the set.

You should think twice about the Taylor wires. They fall apart very easily. This is why I offer MSD and MSD only.

Taylor wires suck!!! no two ways about it. MSD is really the only choice for you if you want the wires to last.

I just bought a set of MSD wires and NGK TR55IX from CC Performance parts. Are the plugs already set at the correct gap space, if not what is the recommended gap. Did I make a good choice with the wires and plugs for my stock 01 SS?
