Recommend spark plugs for Evo 9 ?

I was wondering what spark plugs I should run on my Evo 9. It has a few bolt ons: speed density intake, 255 walbro, upper and lower ets piping, tial bov vta, full exhaust, map O2 housing. Putting down 360whp tuned on pump gas. Name and part number would be helpful. Thanks in advance! Also the right amount of gap would also help.

Denso is a cheaper alternative to the NGKs but seem to work just as well as far as I've read.

Denso's work well, I find they have to be replaced sooner than the NGK's

The last set of ILFR7H's I got were gapped at .030 out of the box. I had to adjust them to get them down to .020

Even if they come "pre-gapped", check them with a feeler gauge (not one of those stupid coin gauges)
