Denso - which plug to get??

I'm getting a bit scared running my TR-5's and am wondering if i'm better off going with the Denso Iridiums. I think it may be cheap insurance and may make me feel a bit better about not blowing up my truck!!! With my mods in my sig, which Denso would be best? Also, will this change if i go with a 6# pulley down the road?

6 lb.'s? Truck too slow...all you need is a chip and filter!

The IT20's work well with the 4lb
The IT20's do ok with the 6 but I would get IT24's

Weedo,I just got my IT20's this afternoon.I also have the special Snap-on 6" deep spark plug socket.I'm gonna install 'em Sun.I'll let you know how it works out.You can borrow it when you're ready.I think the $68 Denso deal was somewhere in Canada.Special order only.I got a deal from my buddy's father-in law[owns a machine shop]$8.95 ea.
let me know when you're ready!-Dave.

Let me ask another question.

Right this moment I have

Flipchip
Cold air intake
Deep Sump pan
Line valve mod

I have a 4# pulley on order (err backorder...)

Will I be in trouble if I try to run this setup on STOCK plugs, which is what I have now? anyone?

My 'stocks' were ok and got me into the 12s with a 3lber. When I junmped up to a 5lber, Sal recommended either the NGK BR7EFs or the Denso IT24s--gapped at .038".

Can you get me a set of the Denso's from your buddy's brother in law's fathers uncle too? If so, let me know, i'd like to get some. If not, no biggie, i think they're $90 otherwise but might as well save if i can.
Now, if i could only decide which ones. You went with the 20's, are you planning a 4#? I understand 16# is stock heat range...

Don't run the stock plugs when you get the 4# on or you will probably be in for some trouble. I'd at least get the NGK TR-5 or TR-6, even at that i'm going to go with the Denso's and replace my TR-5.

Stock is good for STOCK only![if that!]If I WERE going to do any mods, I would go to a colder plug even with a 2lb'er and a chip.20's are o.k. for up to 4lbs.5-6 should use 24's.
Just my opinion,but those of you who know me know why I'm on my 2nd "L" in 9 mos..and don't really want to post my mods online.
"big brother is watching!!!"
-Later,Dave.

Just put in the Densos today.3rd time i've changed plugs. Took about 1 1/2 hrs.I didn't really try to hurry.took my time.The Snap-On deep socket really helped a lot!
Doesn't really seem to run much differently.Maybe a bit more responsive.
P.S.
My wife DUSTED some guy in an older Chevelle on the way home from chuch tonite!!LOL
She was really excited!
Later,-Dave.

Nah, don't really NEED the special socket,but it helped a lot.It's a spark plug socket[with the rubber insert]that's about 7" long.
My buddy lives in Wisconsin and the Snap-On factory is located there.He knows a rep who got us the socket for" next to nothing".
If any of you local guys want to borrow it let me know.
