Plugs aren't all that expensive. I'd start on the cold side, maybe NGK 7s or 8s? And see how they do. I think only if you run way too hot a plug could you get into some real trouble.

I’ve been having trouble getting BP7ES even the resistor version (BPR7ES), which my engine likes. I got some 8s and they seem to fire well.
