I was looking to buy some new Plugs today and i was looking at the NGK TR55's. I came across several different classes such as, iridium, double platinum, GP platinum, and V-Power
. Which plug should i go with? Or does it all depend on how much money i want to spend? But in your personal opinions which plug is the best?

I use the regular TR55s (copper), they are the cheapest ones, I think they call them the "V-power".....

Yeah NAPA sell 'em for well under $2 a piece.
You can gap them pretty much anywhere between .050 and .060. I've tried everything inbetween and saw no difference....

I've just changed from Bosch platinum +4's to the TR55's which were gapped @ .55 out of the box. BIG DIFFERENCE! I swapped out the stock ones @ 22,000 for the Bosch. I always thought the rough idle and stumble was from other mods I made. It's all gone now after only 6,000 miles on the Bosch. I have to agree with the rest of you folks on this forum - they work very well!

I bought some from an Oreilly's yesterday. 8 plugs were like $12.40 including tax, look around at some local shops before paying someone like Summit shipping to get you something you can find locally.
