This!

That boost vs. heat range table sounds like a load of shit....you don't NEED heat range 9 plugs for 20 psi.............I use 7s and every time I pull them out, the band on the strap is perfect.

No need for iridiums, literally a complete waste.

Many of us with SRs in the 400hp range with 2871Rs and 20ish psi of boost are running:

NGK BK7RE or BP7RES (or something close to that.....)............basically they are copper plugs that cost about 2-3 bucks apiece, gapped down to 0.028-0.032, depending on how good your ignition system is.....

They are cheap enough to just replace every oil change.
