****, he's right, the NGK-4117 is for a TR6.
I would actually recommend an Autolite plug over an NGK plug. The Autolite AR3935 or Autolite AR3934. The 34 is one step colder than the 35. Better safe than sorry.

I have successfully run, on my combo, TR6 150 & 175 shot at .038", .035" and .032". The 32 seemed a lil small for the 150, where as the 38 was a lil large for 175, so normally I gap them at 35 and swap shots depending on the pests I am dealing with!

Yeah Im curious as well about what he means by indexing. I have TR6s in it right now gapped @ .030 running my 200 shot and havent had any issues with it. If thats what I should gap the plugs for the 300 shot Ill just leave those in and do a practice run on the highway to make sure all is well.

Wow!! How thick of a shim should be used?? Where would i get these shims?

Plug indexing isn't as important on the ls1/ls6 as it was on past sbc's. the reason being is, plug is located near the center of chamber which allows flame to travel in a sherical pattern, equal in all directions, cancelling out possibility of queching. Old designs didn't have this benifit.
