Default Best Plug Wires for 5.7 Hemi

Getting ready for the Re-manufactured 5.7 to be installed soon.
I have a Red 2005 Crew Cab Ram 1500. I'm having the Valve Covers Powder Coated
either Lime Green , Plum Crazy or Red.

My questions, for now, are;
1. What's the best Plug Wires for a 5.7 Hemi ? ( Most Bang for the Buck )
2. Any other items that I should look into up-grading while we're at it ?
3. Any input on the Colors of Powder Coating that I'm looking at ?
4. Should I stick with Copper plugs if I upgrade the Plug Wires ?

Thanks

Tell me what your list of mods are so far. Because I will tell you this:
Buy MSD Coils
CAI
Headers, Long Tubes
Exhaust, preferably true dual, otherwise you need a better y pipe
Jet 180 degree t-stat
Electric Fan (Flex-a-lite 183. google that ****)
Tuner, probaby a diablosport
If a diablosport, buy the egr delete kit
Get an 87mm TB
Re-Gear to 4.56s, don't be a bitch and go to 4.11s
New torque converter and valve body
port and polish heads
TB Ground, search this forum for it
Cams/valves/springs
pro charger, don't turbo it, it isn't a Honda

You're welcome. Normally I give wise *** responses and have fun messing with people, but I need to do my valve covers and wires soon lol.

Damn, I'm close to having your list, although I have the older 180 flex-a-lite and had my original TB shaved and I'm running a Superchips. Coils and 8mm wires are sitting in the garage, just waiting about another 7k miles till I hit 60k & my plug change is due. CAI, LT Headers, Exhaust, Gears, Cam, springs, retainers, rods and seats have been done, most of 'em years ago.

Just have to tackle the torque converter (which I've always intended), other than that I'm just lacking the pro-charger which was never in my plans, LOL...

No problem. I'm not offended at all. It's pretty much stock now. Future mods will be most likely most of what's on that list you posted.
Duel exhaust - Done
Jet 180 degree t-stat - going in new engine
Electric Fan - Already have it
To do next list:
Diablosport tuner and Egr delete kit.
Cam. MSD coils and shorty wires. Headers.
Re-gear to 4.56 ?!?! That's for Whiny Bitches ! I'm going 4.88 or 5.13 ! !

If you have a 2wd you can go to 4.88 but if you have a 4wd 1500 you won't be going beyond 4.56.
