Default Best Street Plugs

OK, so i'm not sure what forum I'm supposed to be in to ask this simple question so don't go off the deep end 9-ball if I'm asking in the wrong one. Best street plug that will last & won't foul out when its time to get it on after slow crusin around town. Back in the day ( 60's ) my 396 would carbon-up & I would have to make a blast or two to clean em off before a run. So , lets here what the experts would advise !

+1 for tr55s. Theyve got a good gap from the factory and will run great N/A. If youre thinking of doin nitrous in the near future Id say get tr6s.

Edit: After seeing chin180sx's post below me I realized that I forgot to say get the iridium tips. Theyre what Im running and theyre awsome.

TR55IX (iridiums), the regular TR55 coppers wont last as long and changing them is no fun.

The stockers should be fine but if you dare then go with the ngk tr55's. My car had 65000 on the clock when i changed them and they looked fine but i just did it for peace of mind.
