so im running a EBC, 8psi on low tune, and 9.5 on the high tune, and im sick of my junk 1 step colder iridium plugs, so i am going to roll back to copper, however, i dont know if i really have to run the 1 step cold being under 10psi and the days here in Maine gettin 40-50 in the mornings (when i drive most). i would like to get a nice NGK, but i have heard good things about the AR3924 autolites (stock range). just need a bit of input on if i will be alright running stock heat range. mods are ssafc, catback, 626 coilpack conversion, ngk wires, hardpipes, cai, awr, ebc, and ssqv
 
I run stock range ngk spike at 10 but run 8psi. I keep tabs on my air temps after my intercooler though so anytime im around 105+ on air temps i tend not to boost. But this is just me.

noticed you run the air to water IC, how does that work out?
 
Here's my opinion you don't want anything but NGK nor do you need 1 step colder plugs in your application. I've rolled over 104K miles at different boost levels. Each time I pulled the plugs to change them they never showed any signs of problems. Simply normal wear is all. I use the NGK stock no 4291 plugs.
 
Ya just roll with a nice set of ngks. I think crossover has a nice set msp specific. I really doubt u need the step colder.
 
I agree no need to go to colder plugs unless you turn the boost up above 10psi. The stock ZFR6F should be fine.
