Default Spark plugs to use with vortech?

I have searched using "vortech" and "spark plugs" as my key title words, and the only definitive answers I could seem to find were from 2003 (I had actually posted in one thread I found from back then ). Not sure if anything has changed in the last 8 years or not, but what spark plugs do people recommend for a low boost (8psi) supercharger setup these days?

Pick up a set of NGK BKR8EIX (2668) and be a happy camper no matter how much boost you run.

These are one step colder than stock and will run in a stock S2000 just fine.

I'm running them with 20+ psi. They are Iridium and will last for a very long time.

Gapped from the factory. Not to be gapped. Mine were all very similar in gap.

X2. Been using these for 18 months or so now boosted with a Vortech kit. Been great!

I just switched mine out last night, was having some hesitation issues and for the short drive I did under WOT and various other accelerations, the
new plugs (still the NGK's) seemed to correct the issue. I had done about 6k miles including ~300 miles on track with those plugs. Obviously I
could have gotten a lot more out of them if I hadn't done 2 days on track in >95 degree heat.

8's are too cold for most setups and will likely foul out sooner than 7's. I think people are quick to jump to the colder plug. That 907whp s2000 is running 7's with no sign of blowing out spark on the street or at the track.
