the stock stuff is best. It's coil on plug.
nology creates a normal spark plug wire between the plug and the coilapck. this adds resistance which is bad.
the only reason i have them installed is for show points.

All I can say about nology is from hearing others experience... which is that they are garbage as well. Failed wires, burned up ignition modules because of the "low resistance performance plugs" theuy sell.. etc. I have never used, them, and wont.
As for what others are saying, they are dead on. Coil on plug is a VERY good setup with less resistance on the high side of the coil and no wire running around the engine compartment carrying the high side, which just allows more opportunity for cross firing and shorting through insulation when the wires get old (low voltage is not nearly as prone to this, which is part of coil on plugs advantage).
Just stick with stock. For plugs, stick with the same type of plug and run a step or two colder. Look around to see what others are doing, I think one step colder typically works fine for most stage1 or below kits, but again, check around. But the Denso iridiums are great plugs that I would never replace with other plugs.
