The TL uses direct coil on sparkplug so those wont work.

No there are no cams for the TL.

no i dont think you can, seeing how the TL uses individual coil packs per cylinder. its one of the first things i looked for when i bought my TL-S. MSD doesnt make any products to fit our needs....last i looked anyways.

the NGK Iridium IX outlast the denso and cost less, about 7 bucks each

The TB is located under the plastic engine cover

Doubt it would do any thing other than burn a hole in your pocket.

NGK iridiums or NGK Platinums are the only thing you should put in your Tl or Tl-S, the others will work but Honda uses these for a reason, Denso's are ok too but I prefer the NGK's over the Denso's. As far as ignition upgrades go, you can probably use some kind of a voltage amplifier off a similar car such as the HKS twin power ignition amplifier and modify it to work on the Tl. Theres really no need to upgrade since the stock coils will provide sufficient spark to the average Tl drivers setup. Maybe if you fully built the motor and added a bunch of boost then you might have to start worrying about ignition break-up.
