I just changed out my NGK TR-55's for the AC Delco 41-110 Iridiums @.040 gap. (My arms and hands look like I was locked in a cage with a pissed off cat) NGK's only had about 3000-4000 miles on them. One of the NGK's stopped firing completely so I changed it out and the dead miss was gone. However my laptop was still logging a lot of miss fires, so I bought the Delcos and put them in. Virtually no misfires whatsoever now. Most here on Tech will swear by the NGK's, I just didn't have good luck with them.

yup, GM's sick way to get back at us f-body guys for not buying a vette... i just started taking the coilpacks off when i check my plugs...little bit more room and you don't have to go around looking like a suicide attempt! just one connector and a few bolts and the whole rail comes off.

I've always had great success with NGKs. TR55s from stock to bolt-ons and TR6s with spray or after BHP has increased by ~100.
