I was wondering what you guys that are not running nitrous are gapping your TR6's at. Here is a list of my mods:

Mods: MTI power induction lid, K&N drop in filter with bellows, ASP Underdrive pulley kit, SLP MAF, MSD 8.5 mm wires with NGK TR6, LS6 intake,Pacesetter LT's, TSP ORY , Borla Catback, Motive 4.10 gears, Pro 5.0, Hotchkis Sport SuspensionStrut Tower Brace, sub frame connectors

I put TR55's in my car and gapped them at 0.60". The plugs I pulled out were TR6's gapped at 0.30"-0.35"

For your car I would stick with the TR55s gapped@.055. If your dead set on the TR6s, then gap them at .045 for all motor.

Your correct, but for the NGK TR55s, .055 is the widely used gap setting. After your about 100 hp above stock, or running the juice, it's time for a colder plug.

I'm running my TR-6's at .035 N/A.

I have a 11.5:1 CR though. Try .045 and see how that works out.

I'm running TR6's gapped at .042, mainly because I'm making 431hp or over 100 over stock.
