Default Turbo spark plugs!

I had the turbo manifold off last night to fix all the exhaust leaks that I have and I think I bumped one because it seems like it was missing just driving it around so I bought some new acdelco irridium plugs but it seems like you are supposed to use a colder spark plug I figured I would get some advice before I threw them in!

A majority of the members around here and LS1Tech run NGK #4177 TR6 plugs. I've been running them at the pre-gapped .030" and have almost 30k them and they look fine.

The heat rating of each NGK spark plug is indicated by a number; lower numbers indicate a hotter type, higher numbers indicate a colder type.
