The tr5 and tr55 are the same plug with a different gap. the smaller the gap the more low end torque you will have. The bigger the more high end hp. This is true within reason... as long as you dont go drastic in either direction you will be alright. I tested the tr5 and tr55 side by side new in my camaro... the 55 gave drastically more high end and sacreficesed some low end torque... I was manual shifting my a4 with the 5s and it woulnt bog when i shifted to soon... but with the 55s it would.... But like i said the 55s give more high end. If i had to choose between the 2... the 55s are the way to go, above 100 you know you have them.
