Umm, the plugs your thinking of are multi ground plugs, mind you there is no garantee that it will boost power.
As you want to keep the motor N/A, then your best bets are:
-cold air intake
-upgrade ignition system, and ensure correct plugs, gaps etc
-port and polish the head
-new pistons with higher compression
-new, more aggressive camshaft
There are many options, but they vary greatly in price and drawbacks. Also one thing that increases performance (not a dyno figure, real world performance) is making your car more ridgid in the body, and losing weight. Go throught your car form front to back, and see if you can lose some weight, you may be surprised how much you can ditch. Another thing if you have a big stereo in your car is can you cut down on it, ie. 1 sub instead of 2, etc.

Hey, sounds like an odd question, but where do you live??
Reason i ask is that C.O.M.E racign have a billet cam for the holdens of that era at the moment, and it will cost you $1100 for a new billet cam, and they will chip your curretn ecu for the best power.
Im assuming you have the 3.8 liter, so ill also mention that if you are prepared to spend a bit of money, and it jsut not a turbo or anything you want, C.O.M.E have a 4.2 liter stroker kit.
the kit at the very moment is about 2,400 but when you facotr labour into it, your looking at 4-5 grand. Just letting you knwo what out there at the moment.
