Default after new spark plugs dos'nt seam to crank that powerfully

I installed new NGK TR55 gapped at .50 except for #8.car runs great but I've noticed that it dos'nt crank powerfully (the started usally only turned maybe halfway now it seams like the starter has to turn more) like it used to cold or warm.
Thanks

I would re-check the plug gap again. I have seen it where when to are putting the new ones in, you bend the electrode by hitting it on the block. The ceramic may also be cracked a bit on one plug..

Why is #8 different?
