Default Spark plugs?

Every one I want an answer from knows my car so here is the question. I had it street tuned a little while ago. I'm only on 7 pounds and it wasnt miss firing. Now after a 2 weeks its miss firing at higher RPMs. One of my friends was saying its my spark plugs. I have the OEM ones from when I got the car. What spark plugs would you guys recommend?

I used an NGK Iridium, heat range of 8, gapped at .023. 600whp at 20psi I also make sure, whatever plug I use, it is a resistor style plug.

Cool, those are a 7 heat range if they are stock. Depending on your HP numbers, I'd go 1 colder, but that's just me. I know that 7 psi on my motor would be about 2x stock WHP numbers and I definitely wouldn't use the stock OEM plugs..

You must have a nicely sized turbo. Its about 320-330 rwhp. Im gonna get a 1 colder over stock.

I still cant find what the stock plugs heat ranger is. I think when I go to auto zone ill ask them for stock plugs to find out the head range.

Stock is most certainly 7. Sorry, you are wrong here. Look up the part number for stock S2000 plug.

Here, I'll do it for you.
