Replacing spark plugs... will it increase performance??

From what i have been reading there are two kinds of spark plugs to get: 1) super sonic spark plugs (shyne says this is the way to go) 2) denso iridium spark plugs (everybody else agrees on these)
Personally, i haven't had the chance to get spark plugs because i'm saving up for the painted oem spoiler, but people do say that they do feel some performance improvement. We aren't sure if it is because of the "new spark plugs" or because they are "performance spark plugs". Hope this helps.

shyne and i both have super sonic sparks...they won't increase your hp that much...but they will give you about 3 or 4 more mpg. The denso's will give you more hp...and i don't know about hp. Both are nice plugs...only difference is that the super sonics are 5 bucks a plug, and the denso iridums are 15 bucks a piece.

I asked about the wires before and somebody said that a full ignition system wasn't required because we had a distributerless ignition or something. I have no clue. I would think a whole ignition system could only better our performance, but thats just a 17 yr. old talking.

ignition wires are suppose to help you take off faster. Say for example when you race against another car from a stop light. once you step on the accelerator, your suppose to take off faster than stock wires

just to make things clear tls have a distributor-less sparks, on normal car cars they have the distributor usually to the right site of the engine, it helps well, distribute electricity to every wire to spark the plugs equally, it a black cap with number of wires coming out of, our is mounted on to the spark plug boot. its square the front three is visible on the tls. that square is the direct distributorless. changing the spark plug wire, dont need it now unless you did some serious modding, having more than 3.2 liters spilling out, etc.
this is to acjoe the super sonics, i ve heard that they do good, ive heard about halo plugs also got some good rating by some member
but i just wanted out try the denso, you can feel a diffrence in these(not gonna say that they supercharge your car or anything) when you drive around normal dont feel anything but once you mash on the gas definately somethings there(plus i have the cai).
