Many have discovered that the Denso Iridium IK-24s will produce a high rpm miss after a few months. I've abandoned these plugs in favour of the NGK copper racing plugs 7173 (one step colder than stock).
Sorry, Viper, that's actually what I have. And it's the same plug I was using when the electrode broke off. I've got 8 brand new sitting right in front of me. It takes a day or two to get them, so I had ordered 12 last time(July '05). The car's been down since August '05. 3" boost? Dunno. My 3.25" peaked at 12.8 psi and the car went to 9358 rpm. That was with stock internals, both top and bottom.
New motor: stock bottom, 2mm head gasket, Laskey prepared head
No need to port-polish the head for my needs. I'm not looking for every last 1/4 hp. The head flows fine. Standard-sized intakes valves were used along with larger exhaust valves. It's the #2 option on Laskey's website.
Btw, turnaround time was
