Yes, you have to change them to a colder plug. The iridium's are a waste of money. Get these from your local auto zone/ advanced auto:
NGK BCPR7ES, part number 3330
Then gap them to .030

It depends on how much power you are planning on putting out and what type of ignition system you are using.
.028-.030 is fine
I run a .025 on my setup for 20psi.
