realistically, how much power can one hope to gain from aftermarket spark plug wires and spark plugs? i need to change my plugs soon and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about which of these products perform well, as i am clueless regarding the ignition system.

None. They are gimmick. Just get a good set of NGK 8mm plug wires and you'll be good to go.

Not too much to gain except for a better running smoother firing car. Which is worth it in any case.
