I'm no expert, but I've done some experimenting with spark plugs. I've used all 9's on a stock motor, and right now I'm trying some Autolite plugs, Leading: AR3934 , Trailing: AR3932. The heat ranges would be 8 leading and 10 trailing. I haven't had issues with fouling or breakup.
Personally, I like the idea of using the colder plugs to draw more heat out of the combustion chamber. My theory is that heat is one of the primary causes of destroyed 13B-REW engines.

I dont think you would need an ignition amp unless you are running high boost or if you experience ignition breakup. I personally would get the HKS Twin Power because I have heard nothing but good things about it.

The fact that 'trailing' and 'top' both start with 't' is a useful device for remembering which is which.

Here is some spark plug info straight from the manufacturer, including a good explanation of 'hot' vs. 'cold' spark plugs:

Mate, since your 92-95 is pretty stock, stick with the NGK range as both NGK & Mazda have spent millions getting the plugs perfected for rotary consumption.
If your running under 14-psi of boost, use the BUR7EQ + BUR9EQ range. If your going above that, step up a heat range for insurance (eg, 8 + 10)
