Use at your own risk...
Making over 300 HP yet? Stockers work fine, Mopar works fine, MSD works fine, Magnecor works fine. Visit Magnecor's site for good info on how wires work (and why gimmicks don't). I don't usually recommend manufacturers own info as reference material, but it's the most comprehensive I've found.
If you go with the NGK plugs, use the coppers (preferred) or double platinum versions, NOT the single platinum version. Platinum (an irridium for that matter) will do nothing for performance except lighten your wallet.
You can also save a few bucks each oil change with a Purolator Pure One Premium filter - just as much surface area and filtering capacity, half the price.
Best of luck!

RE: noligy any good?
Nology Hotwires are an absolute RIPOFF. Do NOT get them! They do NOT have capacators in the wires. When I was running them briefly in my racecar, they misfired and fouled plugs. I took them out, replaced them with my original wires, and took a utility knife to one, only to find out there was no capacitor, and the "ground wire" didn't go anywhere except under the heat shrink cover.
In short: don't do it- you money is so much better spent elsewhere.

RE: noligy any good?
I heard that a Nology hotwires are total bull****. All it is is a claimed built-in capacitor to build up energy during the milliseconds between spark firing. They claim a "bigger" spark equals more complete combustion. But with a ignition coilpack system, it's kinda pointless. I dunno too much about Nology, but when we were testing motors in the lab at my school, bigger spark did not always equate complete combustion. The packs themselves already build up quite bunch of energy. Nology wires are useless. Getting a MSD pack though... I'd be wary of that too... I've known people with Stangs and camaro's who claim MSD is total crap. Doesn't last. Some go for a year then the pack dies. Some only go for a month or so. I'd just a get a good set of wires and plugs for now.
