Question spark plugs and wires

I just ran the vison premier (engine analyzer) on my car and it reads that i need new spark plugs. I was wondering what plugs would work best for my car. I bought AC Delco (stock) plugs and have not yet installed them because a friend of mine swears the NGK tr55's are better. Any advise? i have a 98 TA ram air A4. My basically stock. Also...I want to know the max resistance on the stock spark plug wires to check if mine are still good. Thanks for any help!

The NGK's are good. I run the TR55's, but the TR5's would suffice.

Can't help you as far as wire resistance.
I run Taylor 10mm. The MSD 8.5 mm is another popular choice of aftermarket wire.

Like boos said, I would go TR55's gapped at .050 with MSD 8.5's. Good Luck

For plugs, you can try the Bosch Platinum +4's. I use them. For plug wires, it's simple, get Magnecors. I also use these.

I used to use the NGK TR55's. I changed to the TR6's when I started using a N20 kit. For the plugs I went with the Taylor 10.4mm Thundervolt wires.
