stock plugs are fine for now. Until you drop pulley/bigger injectors you wont need to upgrade plugs. Once you do, go with NGK BKR7E One Step Colder or NGK BKR8EIX Two Step Colder. You can find both types of plugs a NAPA Auto Parts. for 4 plugs of the 2 step colder it will cost you $90, but those should only be used with serious mods, ie...2.8 pulley, meth, exhaust...everything.

Copper is best for boosted situations.

I been told by many many many different people who run high boost application cars to stay FAR FAR FAR away from plugs that say Iridium, and Copper Tipped spark plugs apparently they are no good.
but Damian the 2 step colder ones they are not Iridium are they?

i believe the 2 step are. Thats what i ran in my car and never had a issue....had to keep swaping them because someone wouldnt fess up that they fucked up on the tune and blamed the plugs. And then of course the issue with the dealership putting the wrong type in my car when they got changed.

If you are stock with only an intake for a mod changing the spark plugs is pointless. You will not get any advantages to changing the plugs and may cause problems. If you really, really want to switch them for something else go with the BKR6EIX (iridium stock heat range).

The BKR7EIX is only one step colder. Truthfully, you should have gotten the BKR6EIX to stay in the stock heat range.

With your mods there is no reason to go with copper plugs unless you are having problems with spark knock.
