Question Plug Gaps and Brand?????

I am about to run a 150 wet shot on my car and was wondering if the NGKTR6 is the best plug for that apllication. Also was is everyone gapping their plugs to. I was going to go for .038-.040 Any feedback from anyone is appreiated. Thanks Jason

Witha 150 shot I would run .035, imo. Bigger may blow out, but some do the .036/.038 on this size shot.

when running a bigger shot would you open the plugs a bit or close them up more? say 200 wet?

The problem is spark blowing out, so the bigger the shot the tighter the gap.

Is there a tool I can pick up to measure the gap? I would like to check my gaps before I put my TR6s in.

I'm currently running NGK TR6ix's gapped @ .035"... do you guys think it would still be fine for smaller shots say 75-125? I've been running them N/A in my car for a couple of months now but will be spraying soon finally. I plan on pulling them this weekend to make sure they still look alright.

Same plug here with a much better idle than my TR6 plugs. Don't get me wrong I always used the TR6 plug and never had a problem just wanted to try something new and so far so good. I only spray a 100 but will be stepping up to a 150.

I got a set from a buddy at the parts place for free. He wanted me to try them out because of his results with them.
I figured I would give them a shot and if not back to the TR6 plugs for me.
