Default NGK TR6 Plugs ok for N/A?

Im getting ready to do headers and purchased some TR6 plugs because im planning on some N20.

but anyway even with N20 not every 1/4 pass will be with nitrous will these plugs effect my performance or should i take them back and get some TR55?

I run the TR6 plugs all the time in my LS2. No measureable difference in my NA ETs or trap speeds when I installed them.

I dont know what the gap is on the tr55 but i know its .035 on the tr6 if the gap is larger on the tr55 it might make some differance in power but not any thing to worry about.

on the tr55's the gap is normally around .060 but they are also a platnium hotter plug which is not nitrous friendly considering the platnium holds the heat and will eventually melt with a couple runs on a 100 shot. also with the gap at .060 your probably going to experiance spark blowout.

TR55's are a V power plug and their not planium their just a hotter plug compared to the TR6's

I have ran TR6s for a while in my current car as well in my previous one. Thing is I have them for the juice but haven't even ran one bottle through it, but I want them for that time when I want to spray, or need to spray lol.

My idle has always been fine and I couldn't tell a diff between them vs the TR55s gapped@.055 or the stock plugs.

FWIW I run the TR6s gapped@.038. If I was spraying more than a 100 shot then I would prolly close it up to .035. But as it is they work great this way.

Hope this helps!
