Don't cheap out on the plugs. The arm and a leg you spend on the iridium plugs is worth it when youndo the math. You wouldn't use the same plugs in your v8 for 60-100,000 miles, would you?
Copper plugs are $8/set
Proper Iridium are $28/set. That's not bad for plugs that last around 5 times longer...

Knowing how to change/check your plugs is very important. Visually inspecting your plugs every now and then to see how your engine is doing is as useful as looking at the dipstick for checking your oil.
Pull them out every now and then to see what condition they are in. It tells you alot about how your engine is doing.
