Default Spark plug heat range question...

Sorry if this has been answered before but I couldnt find it... I have a supercharger that Im going to install after the dealership fixes my A/C, hopefully next Tuesday. I have the one heat range colder plugs by Brisk.

My question is would it be bad to install these now? The car is detuned and everything is back to factory except the exhaust. I have some free time and want to get the two piece spark plugs out ASAP...

if you really really want to do the plugs before hand, i can't
see them doing much harm if it's only for a short time before
the s/c.

besides the cooler cylinder temperatures, keep in mind the
new plugs may already be gapped at or near .032 and that
stock plugs i believe are around .045.

Thanks for the reply. I got them out pretty easily, although they looked like crap. 45,8xx miles. Seafoam and PB Blaster worked great.
