Default what spark plugs for boost?

Ok, I've searched and come up with sooo many different answers, that I don't know what to go with. Can someone tell me what spark plugs I should get, where I can get them, and how much they are...but most importantly is what I should get. I've got a 99 integra GS, and I'm about to boost between 6-8 psi in the next week. What would you suggest?

NGK BCPR7ES-11 coppers and gap them to either .30 or .32 for best results..

Get them from you local parts store or just buy them at summit for about $2.40 a peace or something like that..

don't you mean..
.030" or .032" instead of .30 or .32

Big difference...

Yes I'm sorry guys I meant 0.030 to 0.032" and not 0.30 or 0.32 or 30 feet

EvilgsrwBoost
I would go ahead and switch your plugs out because It will cause you to burn cleaner and will reduce hesitation if you have any, plus I don't think $10 is a big loss for that extra peace of mind..

The bcpr and bkr look exactly the same on the engine side... The only difference I can see is on the side which is outisde of the combustion chamber. I've examined them closely.

Is the NGK BCPR7ES-11 the only set of plugs that I should use? I ask this because I can't seem to find that specific one anywhere in town.... Is there an equal alternative. If not, then I can have a shop special order them...but they said that it'll take about a week.
