whats the best spark plugs?
I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. I have currently have the stock plugs in my car, I want a upgraded set of plugs. I have a predator tune on my car and I think it needs some new ones..Can anyone suggest a best plug?
Thanks
Thanks

Most people will just run a NGK TR55 on a naturally aspirated engine and a TR6 on a nitrous or blown application. I run the TR55s because I am not spraying...yet. But it is generally accepted that there is not much horsepower variation between plus so i would not worry about any special electrode tips like platinum, etc.
All in all, TR55s are probley what you need.

I use (and have used) TR55s on all my LS1 cars. Very good plug, IMO. I gap them at .055.

tr55's come gapped between .05 or .055, i just checked 'em all before i put them in and the ones that werent quite .055, i opened up untill they were
BTW - Orileys has a large selection of NGK plugs, i would check there first for them. dont go somewhere and let them "cross-referenced" with another brand just because they dont have the ones you need. a few sponsers of this board sell them also.

about three or four of us here have started using Brisk spark plugs with good results. We've noticed an improvement in gas mileage and power. It might be the placebo effect from spending $70 on spark plugs but we seem to be happy with them so far.

Are the Brisks platinum or copper, as in would they have to be changed as often as NGK TR55s in a stock internal NA set up?
And do they get gapped in any way before install at all?
