When I went to order my plugs I found out that NGK makes a TR-55 and a TR-55VX (platnum). Which plug is everyone running?

Thanks,

Jim

My stock plugs were gapped all over the place .055 to .063, car had NGK TR5 platinum ones from the factory. It idled better after the plug change, I think this was because only two plugs had the same gap from the factory.
