I would say to stick with the stock wires. Other than that go with the NGK blues. If you want I will sell you mine for $30.00 bucks. They are about a year old.
Also do a search. That's how I found out the same info!

Part number 3330, those are actually 2 steps colder then stock though. Those are the plugs you want to run, period. Gap them to .030-.032 and you will be fine.

good cheap plugs would be NGK BKR7E-11 gapped to about .028-.032 depending on the application/boost levels
im am running the equivalent plugs in the NGK iridium series. they work awesome but i dont know the part number off the top of my head. they also last about 5 times longer but are about $25-30 a set

NGK iridium's are a waste of money.
Quick note: When getting a plug do not get the '-11' because they will come gapped to a .044. Instead get them without the '-11.' The plug will come with around a .032-.035 gap so the tip endures less stress when re-gapping. Also, I used to be a fan of the bkr7e until I compared them to the bcp7es's. The bkr7e's electrode actually extends further into the combustion chamber which introduces it to hotter temperatures that can lead to pre-ignition and/or detonation. The bcp's electrode is a lot shorter and safer to run in boosted motors. The price of the 3330's (bcp7es) vs the bkr7es-11's are the same if not maybe 10 or 20 cents in difference.
