What plugs are you guys running in your Lt1s.

Im not sure the age of mine or really whats good for it.


I know the pcm has been re programmed. (for the fans i think an rev limiter?)
Has the cooler thermostat.
Slp headers full 3" exhaust.
K&n cold air intake.

Few other things done to it but there not motor related.

I have yet to find out if there is any internals done to it.

Many many people run the NGK TR55's and like them. I did for years in LT1's but now with the added compression and higher combustion chamber temps I needed to go colder.

I run TR55's and have been very happy with them so far. They're probably some of the best plugs out there for the price.

I ran the TR55s for awhile, but i feel there a tad hot unless its a just a DD & not too much thrashing in stock form, now i went with the TR6s, because i'll be running alittle juice, they are holding up very well NA, even in stop & go & cruiseing around, so i say get the TR6s, especially with bolt-ons., gapped at .035"

I would just get the tr55 vpower, that's all most run. Some guys are running the iridium units, but they are too fukin pricey for me.
