Default Which Spark Plugs to use with boost

I was just wondering if you could tell me, what spark plug to use with a 8.5 comp 346 ci ls1 with race gas and 26 psi of boost? And also how much total timming I can run with this?

NOT a tr6 for that kind of power. The plug V6 bird said is correct. Depending on how much power is being made at 26psi (thinking dinky turbo here) you may even go hotter to a -8 instead of -9 or -10
