Another option is NGK 7397 TR5IX. It is the exact same as the OEM plug. Stock gap of 0.40.

Your profile is saying Callaway Supercharged but your posting says lightly modded....which is it? If it's a Callaway, best check with them for proper sparkplug. If stock, ACDelco Iridium #41-162; gap 0.040"....

I can’t imagine those things make any steam then?
Typically a cooler plug and tighter gap is advised and sometimes necessary with boost to avoid spark blowout or melting plugs.
I never ran baby boost though, so if they recommend that, it’s likely a baby boost setup.

I don't think Calloway does any ***** to the wall builds. Their stuff isn't what you want if you need big numbers to impress anyone. It holds together though. I think they warranty everything they do. So, doing anything, spark plug wise, other than what they recommend, isn't the smart play.

Change for change's sake? Nope. Change your blinker fluid to the internet approved HD stuff if you absolutely need to change something.
