It might take away like 2hp. I would just leave them because changing spark plugs is a pain. I haven't sprayed my car in about 4 months and dont plan on spraying it for about another 2 months. I've had the tr6's the whole time. I did not feel a difference when i went from tr55's to the tr6's

They wont hurt power. They are just a little bit colder plug. If it isn't a nitrous race plug then I would not even bother messing with changing them.
