Question about spark plug wires

I'm getting a CEL (cylinder 4 misfire) and I'm buying new spark plugs and wires. I was looking at Magnecor 8.5mm Spark Plug Wire Set http://www.maperformance.com/magneco...e-set-evo.html

My question is has anybody used em and are they worth the $86? Also what plugs should I go with? My guess is one step colder than factory plugs. I've got a Cobb AP Stage 2 map, AMS turbo-back exhaust, AEM intake, Walbro 255lph fuel pump, Grimmspeed bcs etc etc

I would buy OEM spark plugs and OEM plug wires. But that's just me.

Well what kinda miles do you have? I had magencor 8.5mm for a while, then switched to a coil on plug system. 86 compared to 500 is a big difference, but my whole thing is that's one coil firing for 2 cylinders, compared to a coil on plug system because they do each cylinder. If your stock coil goes bad then ur car could really drive funny. Good luck.

About 80k and yeah I forgot I'm going to go coil on plug as well, so buying the magencor is pointless. What do you recommend cdi or non cdi? Sparktech has a basic cdi that works without an ems
