Plugs make a car. Anyone with a DD turbo car will agree with that. New plugs will make a car feel good as new. Spark plugs are a MAJOR part of the combustion process.
Ive witnessed some high dollar race teams come in rent the facility and do some pretty crazy things when it comes to the spark plugs in their vehicles. You would be suprised with the amount of time that can be spent on plugs being primary focus. I was
From filing/sparening the electrode, clocking the plug in different degrees, multiple grounding straps, additional washers for spacing, different gapping techniques, etc.
MANY lower end race teams also spend time testing shelf plugs and different oil brands/weights etc. you would be suprised at which style/brand plugs yeilded gains.
NGK is what i would reccomend.

NGK coppers or a step colder if needed otherwise Iridiums if you have a bigger turbo on pump especially with meth. (tend to foul plugs faster)
I got 30+ thousand miles of my NGK Iridiums spraying over 800cc of 100% meth and 28psi.

Now that plugs are centrally located in most combustion chambers I can see clocking loosing its popularity but in any offset design I'd concider it a performance given.
Combustion flame front propagation is critical to engine performance so its always good to have the spark gap aimed in the right direction.

can you even gap iridium plugs? Pretty sure the tip would break IDK just seems like they are too fragile.

You can gap any kind of plug. You bend the metal prong that has the electrode on it, carefully of course, lol.
