Would I benifit from upgrading to the colder NGK TR6 plugs and some performance wires? I do have a Westers Hot Tuned PCM but other than that I'm basically stock. Will they help or hinder performance or basically do nothing at all?
Should I just wait a couple months until I get my Radix to upgrade these items?
Somebody please school me.
Thanks

I would put the tr6's in when you do the Radix. It won't hurt to do them now, but you won't gain anything either. The wires are nice to have for heat resistance if you have headers, they also will not help or hurt you performance wise.

would the colder plugs prevent any engine knock by reducing any pre-ignition due to the heat from a hot plug? would u see any benefits on an engine already pushing the limits on advanced timing?
could u run more timing on a cold plug because ignition will occur more precisely from the spark not any hot spots found on a hot plug?
thanks guys

stock heat range till you boost it or spray it. 6's up to 150shot or ~10psi. maybe a step colder if you push it harder that that.
