Default TPI spark plugs

1989 MAF. I have a cat back, bigger TB, removed AIR. Car runs nice.
R45TS plugs from the factory.
Is there a way to figure out if I need a hotter or colder plug with the increased flow?
or change the gap ???

Replace them with the same as the factory plug. What you describe done to the engine should not require anything else
