Spark plugs and wires

Well I'm installing my headers through exhaust tomorrow, and at the last minute decided, "hey I'd like to get better performing spark plugs, and wires!" Well apparently Autozone can't find anything for our cars, and apparently not even stuff for the same engine in any other car.

My question to ya'll is, "Where is a good place to get plugs and wires, and what would be good to get for both?" I'd like to switch them all out before I get a tune on Monday or Wednesday.
Thanks

What are you expecting? There is no magic spark plug that makes power. The stock ones are fine. You can change plugs when you go FI or nitrous.

I'm just looking for less resistance through the wire, a better insulated wire for heat, and a plug that will ignite better.

The stock plugs are good unless you are changing the cam or going with a power adder. I think Taylor makes a set of wires.

a) you are how how many miles on it? you aren't due for spark plugs, and the stock ones perform the best

b) you wires are not worn enough to need a replacement. if u want to waste your money, go with msd

Yeah, I can't wait...I feel like a kid the night before christmas. I want to install this stuff NOW. I've had a lot of it taunting me from my garage for over a month.

They have MSD replacement 8.5mm wires at a damn good price.

It won't do you a damn thing for increased performance over the stock wires BTW.

They look cool if you have a red or white or black car to match em too though.

Wait to upgrade/change out for a serious Power Adder or N2O application.
