TR55s car run like crap feels down on power
After the header install on my brothers z i installed tr55 gaped at .050 installed new msd wires. When your drive the car normal its fine. when u floor it from a roll or a dead stop the car hesitates.... im lost gona thro a set of AC delcos in and see what happens?

Don't be so quick to ditch the TR55's. They are an excellent plug! I'm sure your issues are somewhere else. Maybe you cracked a plug, plug wire not on all the way, etc. etc.

My guess is the headers have caused a slightly lean condition and the incorrect AF ratio is the problem,if you cracked the porcelin of one of the plugs you would see a misfire code, a tune would definetly help but in the meantime just give it a couple hundred miles of normal driving to get the LT trims in line and see how she does.

when i switched to the TR55's at first i almost thought i lost power. but still had original wires. so i went with the msd wires and now its great. i noticed bigger dif going to the msd wires over the tr55's
i was skeptical at first, but ill use TR55's or the TR6 later on..over anything else hands down

Rather than scrap the TR55's all together, I'd replace the #1 and #8 plugs and test and replace, if necessary, the accompanying wires.
