Default Spark plug/wire combo for GSR motor?

I am new into the honda world and just recently bought a 96 civic ex with a gsr swap in it. I am wanting to get some new plugs and wires, and was wondering what is a good combo for this motor? All the motor has on it is intake, skunk2 intake mani, and full exhaust.

Go ngk. I use the V-power. You don't really need anything special. A good set of NGK wires would do just fine too. I have the MSD's on right now but it honestly doesn't really make much of a difference. OEM stuff is good.

I wouldnt use the blue wires , IMO i like the OEM honda wires and Platinum NGK's the factory gap is 0.50 but they come gapped at 0.52 so no need to mess with them , BTW me and you have the exact same setup bet your car is slowwwww lol
