best aftermarket spark plugs for ls1?

in your experience, what are the best replacement spark plugs for the LS1? if mods make a difference, click the link below to see my entire list of mods. i know that replacing them myself will be quite a project itself, i'll tackle that when it comes time. got 61K miles on her, probably almost due for some new sparks... thanks, i've learned more about my LS1 from this site than anywhere else...

Well I have always preached the NGK plugs to everyone, but I finally tried the Bosch +4 plugs and I am very well pleased with them......

I recommend NGK TR55s for regular use, or NGK TR6 for forced induction or nitrous.

However, I've been running Autolite 104s for my supercharger application and have had nothing but good to say about them. The NA Autolite plugs are 106s

My car has Densos in it from the factory. I pulled someof them at 40K and they still looked good and i'm still getting great gas milaege so I'm gonna change them when i hit 50K miles and put the same in. They have a GM part number on them also, 1256377. About $4 each at gmpartsdirect.com

I bought some NGK Iridium's with Taylor Spiro pro 409's. I heard that you don't have to change iridiums as much as the coppers. And it's also rumored that that platnium plugs lose their platium coating rather quickly. Planning on putting them in this week. Interesting thing about the plugs is that the spark rod or whatever it's called looks like the tip of a needle, kinda interesting. Looks like you'd get a good spark off them.

yeah, i have the iridiums in my suzuki gsxr750. so far, so good, about 1k miles on them. i inspected them last week, and the small tip still looks brand new. let us know how they turn out in the car.

This is one of those things that since there are as many opinions as ********, it probably doesn't matter.

That being said, I use and like red AC Delco #8's.
