Question Upgrading Ignition. Advise?

MTI Performance sells the V-Power NGK Plugs. Do I want the TR-5, TR-55, or the TR-6's? Also while I am doing that, new leads crossed my mind. MTI once again sell the Holley Annihilators (9mm) or should I get the MSD (8.5mm)? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all.

I changed my plugs about a montha go. I used the TR-55's on my car. Those are fine. Gapped mine at .55. You will hear different ppl use different gaps so I just went with something in between.

I believe the TR-6's are for nitrous applications.

On the wires, I kept my stock one...so I can't help u out on that one.

9mm or 8.5mm or 8 mm wires won't make a difference since that is just the outside diameter. You'll find the actual guage of the wire will be the same or very close.

As for plugs, a plug is a plug is a plug. Just so you gap them correctly and use the correct heat range. The different metals just add life to the plug, no performance benefits...especially since copper is the best conductor. V groove, +4, rapidfire, splitfire are all gimicks.
