Default Denso Irridium Plugs with NOS?

I am going to be installing my NOS setup in the next few weeks and was wondering about these Denso plugs? I know that everyone says run NGK TR6 gapped at 35-40. From what I have read these Denso plugs are great with NOS? How would my NA performance of my car be with these plugs?

All the Lightning guys think these are the best plugs out there. A friend of mine runs a NOS dry kit along with his factory blower. He said that these plugs are better for NOS applications? He showed me the picture on the box that compares them to copper and platinum and they seem to be colder? Any info on these would be great. I have done a search as well andcame up with nothing.

As long as the plugs is at a colder setting than stock, I don't think there will be any problems. I have heard they a "100,000 mile" plugs. I wouldn't trust them that long.

I talked to Denso a few minutes ago and this is what they said.

IT16 stock heat range
IT20 1 step colder

He said they are great for NOS or a blower
Also stated they cun run up to 20psi with no blowout?
They come pre gapped at 44 but he said they can be re-gapped
if you are carful. I talked to a friend that changed the plugs in his lightning and used the craftsmen tool to re-gap at 38 he said it was fine.

Denso stated they would last 20,000-25000 on NOS?
I may give them a try?
