run the 103'*, and pull them out after a month, if they are fouled then move up to the 104'*

I'm no spark plug expert. What would they look like if they were fouled?

104 is 2 steps (605 is 1 I think) ,103 is 3 steps cooler. I would go with 1 step colder in your situation but if you plan on doing fast modding you can get the 2 stage now and check the plugs after 1000 miles or so too look at the coloring.
