NGK Sparks, Iridium vs Platinum vs V-Power

Does anyone have any recommendations for NGK spark plugs? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth getting the Iridium plugs in a 88 IROC 350 TPI? It's pretty much stock, but I'll be putting headers and probably some form of cold air intake on it in the near future. Maybe some other mods later on.

What about the Platinum and V-Power plugs? I don't mind spending a few extra bux on better plugs, but I don't want to waste money if it's not going to take advantage of it.

At the moment, a lot of my driving is on the highway, but this car will be more of the weekend car in the months to come.

Thanks for any input!

Buy the NGK V-Groove's. Don't bother with the longer lasting platinum G-Power plugs. The platinum ones will last longer but generally they dont conduct the spark as well as the copper electrodes.
