Default What Plugs for Stage 1 to install?

I have a 2005 Turbo lite and am ready to install Stage 1 PCM in my PT Convertible. Right now all I will have is the Stage 1 PCM and a K & N drop in, in the factory air box. What would be the best choice of plug and heat range to use. Thought about Iridiums but also looking at copper. I know that platinums are out! I also plan on building the pipes that AMX 1397 use to sell. Will that change the range of plug to be used? Thanks CJ.

I continued to use the stock Copper Plus plugs and I was way beyond Stage 1. My GT ate V8s for lunch. I gapped at .040 and the car ran like a beast.

Thanks Mean, by stock I take it you mean Champions. Will the stock heat range suffice for the extra power?
