Use 18 - 20 lbs/ft. The old factory setting was not tight enough and was much of the problem that caused loose plugs and grenaded engines.

Yes, there was a TSB on it. The original amount was 13 lbs. I think and Honda did mine to 18 lbs. at no cost and put stickers with the correct amount in my manual.

Iridium plugs aren't they more for SC and turbos. I heard they run too hot for N/A engines.

i'm pretty sure that for superchargers and turbos u need to run colder plugs not hotter ones.. And they work fine in N/A motors, i put a set of iridiums in my prelude 2yrs ago and its been running great..
