I've installed NKG plug wires before. I'm not sure that there is a performance improvement; I did it for reliability. They are much more supple in cold weather, whereas the stock plug wires get quite stiff. The cool part is that the stock wire unscrews from the coil, so you're not splicing wires.
I agree. But maybe peace of mind is worth something here. A name brand spark plug, with a name brand plug wire hopefully reduces the number of variables in the ignition system that can cause hard to find problems - like infrequent misses.
