For a mostly stock motor, I would stick with a stock spec plug.
Mine has pretty much the same mods as yours. Headers, ORY and a Hooker Aerochamber, P&P TB, a tune and a lid. The stock type plugs seem to work very well.

True, no need for a different heat range than stock on a stock car. Seems like anything between .050"-.060" should work good. The TR55's I have in my car are gapped at .060" and there was a huge difference that was felt between these and my clapped out stock plugs.

TR55's gapped .050-.055" will be great!
