Spark plug help

Ok, so I am going to buy some new plugs because mine got flooded (paint and body work was being done and sat for a while....and so on) well i was thinking that why not use four #9 plugs. I dont have much in my car right now (rev limiter, exhaust, pulleys, e-manage blue, intake) so i dont think i need the four #9 plugs right now but was wondering if it would be bad to use them with what i currently have. I dont have major plans right now either except for a boost controller, some ecu tuning, intercooler + bov)

just curious as to what you guys think.

In my experience 9's will tend to foul quicker and make for harder starts. With your mods IMO stay with 7s and 9s. A couple of plugs don't cost that much. WHEN you increase boost, then you can add the other two 9s.

well i am planning on raising the boost a little and doing some other stuff during the christmas holidays.

So i was trying to find the best ignition wires for the car and and really leaning towards the NGK Power Cables. What do you guys think about these wires? Will they conflict with the Denso plugs?

They are 7mm though and I was really looking for something bigger but if these also have low resistance so im stuck.

One more question: The set comes with the 4 wires, what about the coil wire?

There is a downloadable Factory Service Manual at the top of this section. It will help explain things regarding the coil wire.
As for conflicting with Denso plugs...the numbers mentioned by Goodfella and myself were for (stock) NGKs.
