Nar, plugs will make bu88er all more power. Irridium ones last longer, but are no better than copper. Save yourself alot of money and get the copper ones.

I guess its ok if you dont drive the car that much or dont mind changing sparkplugs with your oil. The standard plugs for a tubby are platinums NGK BKR6EP-8.

I'm going to try out a set of NGK PFR7B which are the newer style colder grade platinum plugs. I'm hoping they will work well fingers crossed.

Edit: never mind you've got an na. Dunno whats better for those, I ran plats in mine but that was ages ago.
