Which spark plugs to use?

I forgot what NGK spark plugs to buy... since I'm going to buy them as soon as someone replies to this thread, quick responses would be appreciated. It's been 20,000 miles so they need to be changed, and oh by the way, I buy COPPER spark plugs not platinum. I know they're NGK and 1 step colder, but I don't have the spark plug model number written down.

Thanks.

Bryan

Im sure you mean .030". And that is too small at 9psi on 1step. Id go somewhere near .036"

You want to drop about .004" for each 50whp you add.

You guys with the 3.5's, remember the plugs are NOT the same as the 3.0L.
