I would most likely use NGK or Denso. I have seen a lot of people use iridum plugs but most don't care too much for the price of them.

why would i change??, you mean from stock, if thats the question, beacause the better conductivity of plug wires, and plugs with durable spark, the more optimal the detonation, thus improving throttle response. Those upgrades tend to see better benefits in f/i setups as opposed to n/a, i made the upgrade in my old n/a setp, an sr20de, and noticed little to nothing. Furthermore going f/i, with having the ground and voltage stabilizer, with step colder plugs and nology wires, i want to achieve a smoother idle, and quicker smoother starts. Am i going the right direction with this?? ive never owned f/i, but in all the reading and research i have done over the years, many articles praise ignition and electrical upgrades on f/i setups.
i look to pull out 300 +/- to the wheels, would 1 or 2 step be recommended?

Ur only creating more resitance by adding wirings, you have the most direct possible conection now!

You dont opitmal detonation, you want none!

get colder plugs ditch the other junk

I think you are getting confused. You don't need to get sparkplug wires for the tc because stock you have the coils right on the sparkplug. Its not like the older type of ignition that required a wire from the the coil to the sparkplug.

yea, i realized that, ill learn the basics and get more in depth with f/i once its all installed and tuned...my tuner back in pa does a good job of teaching you about your car as he tunes....so that will be a huge day of good knowledge for me. my sr20 had a seperate coil pack...i know the difference now, thanks man.

iridium step 2 colder and stock coil packs.. ive heard some bad reviews of upgrading to hotwires when it comes performance on this car.. Our stock coils are the best available system.. you would get some gains on the sr20 since their stock is old technology and hotwires would be an upgrade for that car
