Stock plugs are okay, (although some argue the gap goes nuts rather easily), but I installed a set of Macs on Friday night and my plug of choice? NGK tr55 (part number 3951). Reason? With headers its easier to change out the plugs every 15k miles, and it comes down to $1.79 v. $6 to $12 a plug.

uh, TR55s are the plug of choice for N/A applications, your friend has something else going on. Install those NGKs and don't look back.
