Default Pics of 17psi 9second ET 1year old TR6 sparkplugs.

Ran these for 2 years. 1st year max of 13psi. 2nd year 17psi all year. Kept taking them out and checking them every couple of months, but didn't need to replace them....they look ok now but it's time to go 1 step colder for 20psi.

Years are meaningless. How many miles/runs does that equate to? BTW, I have a set ot tr6 plugs going on 100k miles in my whipple charged work truck. I will admit I am a little lax on maintenance on the company vehicles.

You noticed the stain?

104 Sunoco unleaded has that stuff in it.

BTW, this is not an endorsement to run plugs a long time. $16 is cheap to change them out every 6 months....I'm just surprised TR6's lasted this well without misfires under boost.
