Default sparkplugs...whats everyone using?

i've been a fan of "keep it simple" and put ngk tr55s in a few years ago when i did headers.

should i go for the same now that i'm 25K mi later?

are there some good performing reasonably priced alternatives?

i'm NOT going to pay $10 per plug for platnum or some rediculous fad plug.



what are you guys running?

and with the cam upgrade, is the plug gap the same?

you got ripped off @ $10 per plug. You can get 8 TR55's for $18.00 from the WS6 store.

NGK TR55 plugs cost me $16.xx at Advance Auto every time I get them.

Those $10 bullshit spark plugs won't do a damn thing for performance anyway.

Its not like Delco plugs are any better. Everything else cheaper is cheap imported plugs that only last 10,000 miles. $16 for plugs isnt a lot to ask

I'm looking to replace my stock ones too. But it seems like everywhere I go I see TR55 but with different part numbers (at least for the $2 range ones). Is one better than the rest?

There's 3951:
