NGKs were at least at one time a popular option for these motors.

NGK TR55 V-power or possibly the NGK TR6 V-power are some popular N/A choices depending. LS1 or LS2? And what kind of power is it making?

NGK TR 55 is good, the TR 6 are better used for Forced Induction. Colder plug.

This is such a generic blanket statement you should take it with a grain of salt.
Example: The TR6 plug was more well suited for my N/A ~500 crank hp LS1 over the TR55 plug. I switched from TR55 to the TR6. This is why it depends on the exact engine setup. A cammed and full bolt-on LS2 could benefit with a colder plug like the NGK TR6. The TR55 plug is the heat range for stock LS1 and LS2. Depending on modifications, a colder plug like the TR6 may be better to use.

NGK TR6 is the heat range for a stock LS7 and that is a 505hp N/A engine. Just food for thought.
