Default some ignition questions

ok wel im in need of a tune upon my car such as cap,rotor,wires and plugs. im gonna go with a set of MSD wires but the plugs im not sure on, my car only has h/e but soon will have intake and maybe a zex wet kit, but what is a descent plug to run in my LS that wont break my bank. Secondly i have a MSD coil from my other car and i know MSD makes a external coil dissy but what wires would i run to the coil for it to get its initial 12V charge? same that went to the stock coil but extend them? i dont want to mess things up. Or would it be better to just stick with the stock setup and get a stock rotor and cap? thnx

i'd stick with the stock setup. you wont really gain much of anything from an msd. as for plugs, buy the best: ngk-r's from any autoparts store or your local acura dealer. if you decide to go nitrous, depends on shot really, i'd run a copper plug that is about 2 degrees colder and i'd back timing off a bit if i knew i was spraying. for wires and cap and all that, get the ngk wires from acura and get the cap and rotor from about anywhere.

thats the best advice i can give really. i always stick with stock because OEM knows best since they designed it.

ok well autozone near me doesn carry NGK's but they do ahve Boshe,Ac delco, and denso. The ones i was considering where the boshe platinum and the +4 from them but i was wandering how they ran in a integra. On the MX6 i had everyone had a problem with the platinum plugs car didnt run right so wanted to see if it was ok for the car. Also what about the denso iridiums

denso iridiums are a waste of money. bosche +4's are junk. platinum doesn't fire better it actually fires worse than copper, it just lasts longer. iridium tries to get the best of both worlds with lifespan and firepower but still doesn't quite fire as well as coppers. coppers just dont last as long but are the best firing material. my suggestion is find a store that carries the ngk's
