Default 2014 5.3 spark plug newb question

What plugs are you using, btw running boost. Last time i searched was not much out there maybe better luck this time.

GM replacement = ??? (need to take them out again)
NGK = NGK LTR6IX-11 looks about right but damn $9 a piece

I've heard bad things about running iridium and power adders, or is it just nitrous?

you're only making 400 on a 150 pilled setup?

what kit are you running if you don't mind me asking?

I have been running iridums with boost on my truck for a year. It is daily driven and daily boosted. I have no issues at all.

Platinums are a no no, many people run iridiums but I prefer a standard plug with boost.
