Best plugs for FI?
From what I have been reading, it looks like I should ditch the expensive factory double platinum NGKs and replace them with the cheapo V-power TR55 or TR6 plugs. Platinum and iridium are not recommended with FI. Is this correct and how often should the TR55's be replaced? Also, should I alter the OE .060 gap with FI?

You shouldnt run platinum for sure... Ive been running the TR6ix (iridium) in my LT1 for quite a while with no problems.
The platinums get too hot, start glowing and melting, causing detonation and/or engine damage.
I always run .030 -.035 gap.
The cheapo V-powers also work well, they just dont last as long.

5-8 psi? NGK TR6's gapped at .035 would be the ticket. Some might go for .040-.045 to get that little shake out of the idle but you can experiment around.
I run TR8's @ .030 in my current setup.

You can also run
BR7EF
BR6EF
BR7EFS
Probably not enough boost for that.
