Any heat specification for higher modified engines?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that my 'near future setup' is all parts I have already.

To be honest, I wouldn't even upgrade the factory manifold. It is a great flowing manifold and the design is perfect for the T28. If you want a great manifold that retains the factory design, the Tomei is awesome, but pricey.
Heat range 7 at .028 gap is where you should be and you won't need anything colder until you're well into the 400hp realm.

This all depends on the amount of power you're making, but yes, usually boosted motors run colder plugs than the NA counter part. 200-400hp you really don't need anything colder than a 7, as stated by my tuner. Once you're into the 400's or higher, 8's then 9's as needed. It also depends on the type of use your motor see's. The more boost, the tighter the gap.
I run 7's and dyno'd 360rwhp at 13psi to give you an example.
