What spark plugs?

What are the best spark plugs to use on my IX? It's ECU tuned and runs precision 780cc injectors,with a full HKS intake and exhaust system.1.5 bar boost.I've also got an aquamist kit on with two nozzles.

hey guy just do a search. NGK makes a lot of good sparkplugs. With your set up id say run a one step colder plug if your makin some powerand you should be good. Make sure your running a MIVEC plug because they are differet from non mivec plugs so that is key! Makes them more expensive but it is wht it is.
