For what is basically a stock engine, I'd recommend the NGK Iridium plugs (TR55-IX). I don't know if there are any limitations with the BBK headers that would require a shorter than normal plug, though.

For wires, a good set of Taylor 7mm resistance wires will work fine. Factory (GM) 7mm wires will work fine too. If you want a bit more insurance with the headers, move up to an 8mm wire, for its thicker insulation (e.g. Taylor Spiro-Pro 8mm). I like the MSD 8.5mm SuperConductors, but they are a bit thick to fit into the stock bracket on the front of the engine. If there are any spots with potential clearance problems to the headers, install the Taylor FireSleeve woven fiberglass shields.

Yes. You don't need the colder TR6.
