You should tell us more about your car so we can give you better advice. If the car is relatively stock - you will not gain any performance by switching plugs. Plus those plugs you are using are good plugs anyways..

If you had very high compression OR were using a forced induction set-up - then you would want to switch to some colder burning plugs. But if thats not the case - then you should be fine

Well until you go into the motor - or add nitrous or forced induction - then those plugs will be fine. They are darn good plugs anyways!

If you end up doing any of those above stated things - then you will want to switch to a little colder plug to prevent detonation. Such as:

NGK tr6's
Autolite 104's
etc.

but for now, you should be great with those

By the way, you are off to a great start with the mods you have done thus far
