I would say 7's also, but depending on boost level , you can use the 8's.

Also with the kelfords, I hope you got a tune to take care of idle and misfire codes.

Yes Irridiums are safe man Evos come stock with Irridium plugs from the factory.

You just have to be careful gapping them not to damage the tips.
