Default Spark Plugs and Wires???

I'm planning on staying NA for my Z. Not planning on doing too much except for a couple bolt-ons. Do you have any recomendations on what kind of plugs to use or wires? I was just thinking of just getting the NGK Spark Plugs that are Platinum, and maybe their wires.

You have platinum plugs in it now, and the VQ is a coil on plug design, so there are no plug wires to swap.

I utilize the one step colder Iridium Denso plugs. The Z does not have spark plug wires. However, I just installed a new product today that may extract more HP that connects through our coil system. Supposedly, it made 5-7 hp on a stock Z.

It is called the Hyperforce System made by Sun Automobile Japan.

I was trying to test it on the last dyno day we had, but I couldn't install it correctly since they gave me a few wrong parts.

I have typhoo intake, test pipes, pulley, HKS td and 5/16 plenum spacer for engine mods. Should I get new spark plugs? Will they help? How bout grounding wires? They good for anything? I track the car as often as possible.

Actually it acts like a bridge between the ignition coil and the coil packs. I'll take pictures later in the week to show you guys what I am talking about
