No offense man, I am all about learning. . . but seriously, this is like the first thing someone should know about the mechanics of a car....second to changing the oil. . .If you don't know where the plugs are, you shouldn't be concerned with what gap to run them at. Take the car to a performance shop and have them do the work for you...

I have stage 2 (stock stage pulley), am running BRK7E's at .035 gap. Car runs WAY smoother than it did on stock plug.

How to change plugs (the nice side of me);
Get appropriate size torx bit to remove spark plug cover on the top of the engine (silver peice) there are 4 bolts.

Get the appropriate socket to remove the bolts the fasten the individual coil packs to the car. Remove the coil packs starting from cylinder number 1, 2,3,4 (cyl #1 is at the passenger side of the car).

Get the appropriate spark plug socket, with extension. Remove the spark plugs. Replace spark plugs and torque to spec. Replace all parts and enjoy.

Your new Irridiums are gapped at .035 out of the box. Use that gap for the time being. If things feel off then try different gaps.
