OEM will work but I believe that it is recomended to go with a different "heat" range spark plug for some help in the performance.

I went with the cooler plugs but can't say if it makes a difference or not.

It's also good advice to talk with your tuner and see what they usually recommend with similar builds to your own.

This is true. I didn't change my plugs and I saw the same magical KR improvement from the tune from someone who shall remain nameless (^^^).
