Just run with the standard heat range but change to an iridium plug. Denso IK20 or NGK BKR6EIX11 are the two best options for he 3SGE.

Pod filters cause a lot of hassle & are expensive. A decent panel filter is all you need. There's a flap in the top of the air box that opens at @4000rpm. You can disconect the vacuum line to it so open all the time if you want a bit of induction noise at lower rpm.

If you haven't cleaned your MAF sensor & throttle body yet, do it asap. You'll be surprised at how much difference it makes.

I'd recommend using Denso IK20 plugs

Make sure the throttle body and MAF sensor is clean. You possibly need to look at the fuel injectors, they may well be leaking and/or not spraying correctly and need to be replaced.
