Which spark plugs and wires with SLP headers?

I think I'm going to get the Moroso wires, any thoughts? I was wondering how hard it is to make the wires myself. Also, which spark plugs will fit best with 1 5/8" headers? Any opinions will help.

Buy good plug wires, whatever brand you like. I'd get the kind you make yourself. It looks neater when done and you don't have exceptionally long plug wires all over your engine bay, making the spark travel farther.
I have "Just for You" wires looms on my centerbolts and SLP 1 5/8 headers. No burnt wires and probably 4000 miles on the headers.
Oh, spend the money on a good sparkplug wires crimper, something you will keep in your toolbox forever! Good luck.

Just about any aftermarket plug wires are good, and AC/Delcos are good too. I like the 8.8mm Accels that I am running, but I am going to buy a set of 300+ wires here in a few days as soon as I get my next paycheck. I wouldn't get ANYTHING other than AC/Delco plugs, most people like the rapid fires, they are a litte more, but well worth it!

Ditto on the "Made for You" centerbolt looms. A lot of us are using Taylor wires. I've also been using the Accel U-groove plugs because their shorter than a lot of other plugs, and with the TF heads I have, the angled plug holes make plug choice important. I've got about 3-4 years on my Taylor wires and MFY looms. Great stuff.

Another plug that fits nice with headers is the bosch platinum. Some guys feel they are not wortht the money, but I like them. Like I said they fit great with headers....
