Checking your plugs
How often do you guys pull your plugs to inspect them. I was thinking at each oil change interval.
How long do NGK Iridiums normally last on FI set up?

Not sure about the correct interval for checking plugs, but I used my stock plugs for like 15k miles and they still looked good, but I put one step colder copper plugs in there and they have been in there for about 8k miles. Since they are copper, i'm going to check them soon but I expect them to be fine.

I usually check them after 2 oil changes, or 6K miles. After 6K miles, they look nearly brand new if the tune is correct. Doesnt hurt to check at least one easy access plug (cylinder #1) just for peace of mind. I usually throw them in the trash after 10K miles, even though they can last much longer.

We get about 50 calls a day, but we answer and return all of them. 
I do have plugs in stock, if you need anything, just place the order on the website. THANKS!
