Model and year and engine might help.
I would be in favor of going 1 or 2 colder.
Check around some speed shops and see what they do for them or use in a case like that.

You do understand what a spark plugs heat range refers to?

for that, i would use the stock plug range. when compression is bumped/forced induction is there, colder plug. other then that, stick to stock.
