you might want to get a step colder plug...just to be safe...the ltr6ix would be perfect for you
a good rule of thumb is for every added 50hp you drop to a colder plug

Watch for spark blowout though, I have mine (2.4 at 11psi) at .32 because anything bigger would just missfire like hell.

it basically depends on your setup....sometimes you have to play around with gaps until you get it right
