Spark plug help..How tight should they be?
I have read some threads and some people are saying that they should be tightened at 18ft-lbs and 20ft-lbs. Does anyone know what it should really be at?

You tighten them by hand until they feel tight then give a 1/4 of a turn.

11) Replace the spark plug with your new plug! Torque the plug to 20 FT-LBs! Make sure not to crossthread or overtorque the plugs! Aluminum heads are easy to strip out!

In reality, the difference inbetween 18-20ft/lbs is small. whatever torque wrench you use is probably has an effor factor close to +/- 1lb

The service manual says 18ft lbs, however, if you use anti-seize, you should drop that # by about 20% (result = ~15 ft lbs).
