Taylor Wires?

I am going to be buying some Taylor wires and was wondering if there was a difference between the 8mm and the 8.2mm thundervolt wires?? only a $5 difference so should i just go 8.2mm? Also, i was going to buy the NGK TR55's and i was wondering, do i need 9 of them? i ask that because im wondering if the plug for the coil should be/can be replaced with one of these also

In theory, the lower resistance of the Thundervolt 8.2mm wires should provide better performance. But I haven't seen too much feedback from anyone using them.

There is no sparkplug on your coil..... so you only need 8 spark plugs, one for each cylinder. Your wire set will have 9 wires in it, with the extra one being used to connect the coil to the distributor (Optispark).
