    sell the MSD coils.

    as far as what plugs, my lawn mower uses Bosch plugs. but thats a lawn mower.
    /sarcasm

    but seriously we need a few more pertinent details such as.. are you supercharged?

    those should work, as long as you use a copper plug.
    i personaly have not used any NGK's yet in my grand prix.
    ive stuck with autolites and they work fine for me.
    i ran the AL605's on stock pulley then went to AL104's w/ the 3.4

    the MSD coils should be used for cosmetic reason only.
    the stock coils are more than up to the task.
    mine are still stock at 135k - no issues so far here.

    id say go for some stock replacements or the like unless you are going to be dropping pullies. you really want to keep the spark as hot as possible until you start making more boost where you have to start dropping heat ranges.

    MSD coils are a waste of money imo. Our cars came with NGK's or at least mine did. If you go autolites I would go 605's with your mods and as your mods progress 104's then 103's. Sorry I'm not much help with the NGK's although I would like to run them again.
