Iridium plugs better than copper for boosting?

Dont know if this has been asked or anyone tried this on a boosted care. Im about to try them for my setup but the problem I got is that the electrode is so small that I might not be able to gap it to specs I need for boosting. Seems that if I try to gap I might bent or compromise the integrity of the electrode.

We all know copper is a better conductor than platinum so copper is best for boosting except longevity is compromised. Iridium might give me the best of both worlds but like I said, the gapping is my issue.

They are not worth the extra money. Just get the copper. IMHO coper will perform better.
