What are the best plugs to use when going to a set of aluminum TFS Twisted Wedge heads? I know there was a difference from stock heads and gt40 heads and now I'm going to a set of TFS 170's and want to know which plugs work best with them on a stock bottom end.

Plain copper cheapie 3924s here, too. Our cars don't like platinums, iridium's, or any of that other crap.
