You'll do fine with stock, but another good option is NGK TR55 plugs and MSD wires. That's what I'm using and they've been holding up fine. I've removed the wires numerous times while performing mods (valve spring swaps, header upgrade, etc.), and they keep holding together. If you have money to burn, Denso Iridium plugs are the best for longevity, and burning off excess carbon, from what I've read...no performance increase though.

I've heard good things about JBA wires...no experience, though.

Stock wires or you're asking for problems. NGK TR5's for plugs.
