Here is a platinum TR55...

They are less than 1/2 the price of Iridiums.

I used to run TR6's till my tuner told me, he had seen more problems with NGK's then all other plugs he had tried combined. Now I run Delco's. It's all a matter of preference. But I will say that I always seemed to have a more noticeable low idle misfire with the NGK's then I do now running Delco's.

I am actualy changing the plugs (stock Delco's) because of a low idle misfire and I think swaping the plugs is a good place to start. The car has 36k on it. I have read posts on here where people complain of the delco plugs burning off their "pucks" or irridum tips.

no problem
i hope i didnt come off as a smart ***.Alot of people run tr6's and have no problems.its just a good measure of caution to run a non projected tip plug with spray.That link that was posted is a goldmine of info.read it.you will be glad you did.I know i sure was
And OP, like it was already stated if your not spraying then dont worry about any of this and go get yourself some TR55's.

OP didn't mean to hijack the thread.

I put those in my car last week before I sprayed it for the first time. Did some reading before I even thought about spraying the car and those plugs seemed to be one of the best choices. Haven't noticed much of a difference running the br7ef plug from the TR55's I was running before. Might idle a little rougher and surge a little more than it did before, but my tune needs to be tweaked some more.

As far as plug choice, motor only use thr tr55's or a tr6.
If you are spraying you are going to want to use a non-projected tip regardless of what you hear. You can use a tr6 and it will run but is it right?
It will run ok even with the non-projected tip just a lil rougher on cold mornings but it will be ok once it warms up.
For anybody that plans on running spray you should go into the nitrous section and ask questions. Don't be like I did and blow your motor up first then ask questions later.
