Another vote for the tr55's ... i've run Bosch Plat +4's, and the NGK's > the +4's.
They have a much crisper startup, and also much better throttle response.

That gap is too tight for a stock engine. It would work great for a large head/cam engine like yours though.

We just ran the ROLEX 24 hr with BOSCH +4's for a total of testing and race miles of 2700 miles. The plugs looked perfect afterwords. We also used our TPIS wires. The car is a Corvette running under the Banner Eng. sponsorship.
We have in the last two years won back to back championships in both the ASA series and the SCCA T-2 class with +4's. I have tested every plug on the market several different times and the +4's always make more power.
