Default NGK-TR55 plugs right for these mods?

I'm debating what plugs to put in. Its a 98 soon to be pushing around 420 whp. Cam but no heads. Is the TR55 right for me? Would I be better off with Iridiums?

I'd like longevity but not if it means sacrificing performance.

I ran the Tr-55 until I broke 450 rwhp. Now if you are using nitrous you definitely need to upgrade to a different plug. I think you will be fine with the Tr-55s, just know you will have to change them every 20k miles or so.

You won't need 6's until you add a blower, turbo, or possibly nitrous, depending on how big a shot.
