So the Iridium is the way to go..? I didn’t see much benefit vs the platinum. I don’t really care about them having a longer life, but are there other benefits?
Plug wire heat shields?

I haven't had a chance to mess with them lately.

I definitely understand how that goes. Hoping you can get them working.

Copper?
For boosted guys, Platinum and Iridium plugs perform at a lower level than copper spark plugs, because they are less conductive and they tend to overheat. However, the overall longevity of these two types of metal is better than copper plugs. In reality, copper has the best performance of all three and the worst longevity.
NGK TR6 work great for my blown 6.0 but don’t last long.
I used NGK Standard Series Spark Plugs BP7EFS/3526 on mine

As I am looking more, the ones I have seen and bought do seem to be listed as professional. I'll have to dig into the delco book a bit. The 110 iridium was changed to 962 platinum in the older trucks service specs for cost savings is all. Agree that longer life is the only difference really.
There are 3 delco lines. OE, Pro, and advantage. The OE is just that. The pro is usually ok, but can be hit or miss. The advantage is a no go zone.

Excellent. Thanks for the information.

Reminded me of the no go zone in the hot crazy matrix. If you’ve never seen this you gotta watch. Funny af but so true. Watch for the unicorn heads up.

ROFL!
When it starts running rough, or the opportunity presents itself like now when things are taken apart. Since the headers were installed I need to pull the wheels and inner liners to change them so I’ll change plugs now while a header was removed and front wheels removed to pull the trans. The plugs are only $2 apiece so it’s cheap.

Have you tried running with iridium or platinum?
No, I was told to run the copper ones by Whipple so there’s less chance of detonation. I see no reason to pay $50-$60 and go through the pain of swapping plugs only to take a chance. I figure the experts should be listened to. And BlackBear also concurred on the TR6’s.
Agree, got the same advice from magnacharg, was just wondering how the engine acts
