First of all, we don't have spark plug wires.
If I may speak for the majority of the members here, we install Denso Iridium IK24's...especially if boosting.
Here's a quick reference of plug heat ranges:
IK22 = OEM heat range
IK24 = 1 step colder
IK27 = 2 steps colder

You may also want to use this often:

I use denso IK 24's boosting also, we have coil-on ignition, take off your spark plug cover and you will see that each spark plug has each their own coils, no need for plug wires

Actually, I've been using the stock Denso Platinum plugs (re-gapped to narrower space) on my S/C. They've been working quite well. I will be trying the NGK racing plugs (one step colder) but I really doubt I will feel any difference.
As for an otherwise stock engine, the stock plugs work very well. Sure, I've heard some people say that they can "feel" the difference going to the Iridium plugs, but I've also heard just as many who tried them and felt no difference, so why mess with a good thing only to pay more money?
I remember a post here a while ago from someone who indicated that the Bosch4 could actually damage this engine. They have shown to do wonders on some applications but they also cause problems with others.

I use NGK copper racing plugs to get a larger spark (Better for SC and Nitrous). They are relatively inexpensive compared to platinum and Iridium, but you have to change them more often. I change mine once a month.
