Default spark plugs for boost

im getting ready to put a turbo on my f20. i was wondering if anyone had any info on spark plugs ie... do i need to go colder and if so how cold from factory. i will be running 10 pounds on stock compression with 750cc injectors at about 6000ft elevation. i already built the engine and head and installed kpro.

NGK, Heat range 7, plain copper plugs. 1.99/piece

Forget the model/part number of the top of my head.

This is something i haven't really looked into. I've been supercharged and i've been running NGK Iridium IX spark plugs. Soon going turbo, and i just plan to use the same type of spark plugs.

We prefer NGK Iridium plugs. They have been effective up to 750 BHP for us. We use no. 7 up to 375 BHP, and 8 above. You can find them here, along with a gap reference.

Thanks, i wanted to keep iridium plugs anyway, plus I'm thinking of going for 400hp, would 800 cc injectors cover that, or can i still get enough fuel from 750

Most folks go with 1000cc ID injectors, however 750cc should get you your goal, but likely nothing beyond that.

At the power level I'm at this is what I use, but on 7's I think the copper is fine imo.
