Default Which Iridium spark plug should I get for my S/C?

I am running the TRD supercharger and recently just put on the NST 9.5 pulley.

Ive been told that when you are running more boost its better to get colder plugs but some have said to just get regular ones. I was going to get Iridium IX plugs but if there are better ones for the tC for the S/C at that boost (9.5) Let me know! Thanks!

In all honesty, you're not gonna need new spark plugs because you're not running a whole lot of high boost. I would just stick with what you got, unless you REALLY want to switch.

If you're going to do so, just get the 2 step colder plugs, cuz eventually ur gonna up the boost right?

Its going to be a waste of $ switching. You 100% do not need to. you are going to get a bunch of people posting the same answer.

My boost probably wont go beyond 9.5.... maybe 12, but I will most likely keep it at 9.5.

well the thing is I dont have ANY spark plugs right now... for those who know my car is being rebuilt and the dealer it was at first, did not give me back the spark plugs with the rest of the parts, so I need to buy new ones anyway, Im trying to find the best choice.

Yeah, I didnt post that in the first place because I didnt want to introduce any drama into this thread.

Do you have any opinion on which would be best since I dont have any?

Well - i have heard many many many people say that the plugs that come w/ the s/c kit are 100% fine and to not upgrade them. some people are going one step colder though. I dont want to type too much because there are deff other people that have more knowledge on the subject. I typically only post when im darn sure of answers.
