Platinum on the plugs can contribute to detonation. This is because platinum is a catylist.
Platinum plugs don't have a true horsepower benfit anyway. Their benifit is in long life. They don't require as much electrical energy to spark, but don't produce a very strong spark. Go with a good copper core plug. It wouldn't be a bad idea to go a heat range or two colder.
