Default Plugs - TR6 or TR55s?

Car is 1999 M6 SS with Patriot Stage II heads/Lunati Cam and full bolt ons.

Which plugs should I be using? Thanks!

You're gonna get a lot of responses for both. Truth is there are too many variables with your combo (compression, cam size,etc,..) and little difference between the plugs.

Run which ever you want and get a good tune. You'll likely never know the difference.

TR6s aren't nitrous plugs. Most just use them with smaller shots because they are somewhat colder than a TR55. In most cases better tuning would make more difference for safety and power.

When you get ready to add nitrous I would suggest reading up a little in the nitrous section and plan on changing plugs again.

For every 100-125hp you add you should go 1 step colder on the plug IMO. TR6 is what you should be using.
