Default Should I be running different plugs with a 6.2L @ 8psi

Magnuson TVS1900 @8psi on a 2012 6.2L 10.5:1 comp. w/ Headers.
Should I be running different plugs? Magnuson said stock with 6psi.

I would be, try some NGK BR6EF. That's a non projected TR6.

Run standard, avoid platinum tips etc. standard plug dissipates heat faster from tip to help avoid detonation.

pull a plug on number 7. count how far down the threads the carbon line is. if it's more than three, put a colder plug in there.

Ok so what's the difference between BR6EF & TR6.....? I recently picked up a Roush tvs1900 and it did not have the "colder heat range" spark plugs. I have asked around and have gotten several different answers ....So which is best for me? Truck is 2008 5.3 non flex fuel.
