I prefer Brisk over anything..

but for your average consumer.. the NGK series is the top dog

NGK TR55! The TR6 is also good, but in my experiences it fouls out pretty fast. So you need to change it every 5k for best performance. The TR55 is good for 10-15k or so.

Best gap for the TR55 is .050, for the TR6 you should run them in the .040 to .045 range (since most of the time that you run this plug you're either supercharged or running nitrous, both of which necessitate a smaller gap)

NGKTR6s at .038 for spray. I have had no fouling issues so far. I ran TR55s when I was N/A and they worked well too. For my Buicks I use AC Delcos and have gotten 25K out of them with no fouling or gap issues.

I dont think you guys have heard of brisk, or know how bad *** they actually are..




these are about 10 bucks a spark plug...



360 degrees of possible spark so it HITS where most of the fuel is concentrated at so it always burns..


here is the page about it.. http://www.brisk.cz/en/pro1c.php

I have the original spark plugs in and I've had them for 45,000 miles and I've had no problems. How is it you have to replace these aftermarket ones every 5-10k?

I never heard of them. Looks like a variation of the multiple-ground-electrode thing. Do they kick butt?

best ************* around. About 10 bucks a plug.. so knowing you are about to toss around 90 bucks for some plugs is the bad part about them..

but i have seen some impressive gains going from a NGK to a Brisk... BUT this is on HIGHER HP cars...

yes they do. for n/a go with Brisk GOR LGS 17, and GOR LGS 15s are for nitrous and boost. GMHTP did a side by side comarison with fresh plugs on the dyno....the Brisk plugs did 3 more horses. I have them in my car. Every bit counts!

Don't waste your time. Get an Autolite. Best plug around. By far.
