Plugs preform better when coupled with high performance ignition systems or uprated spark generation. Its a useless expense.
Stick to stock. I'm pasting an NGK Spark Plug Chart for reference.
The following is what you'll see inscribed on the elctrode coating(white portion) on your SP. Heat ranges and operating temperatures are descrined in detail.

Note that not all 6 fields will always be used, such as in BKR6EY.A hot-cold plug designates a plugs ability to retain or dissapate combustion heat! Lower grade fuel requires hootr plugs while high grade work equally well with both depending upon application.
