Are you useing the juice? I have tr6's gaped at .035 but that is with a blower. Someone else might chime in but .050 would probly be fine on a N/A application.

umm i think advanced doesnt carry them at all, either them or autozone, but napa should have been able to order them and be there in like a day or two, if not those tr6s are fine, like the other guy said the juice guys usually run those and they gap them smaller.

.050 is too far for the gap on those. Spark plug's should only go +/- 10 on the gap from what they are sold as. You could get the TR5 and run a .045 gap, sometime that plug is more readily available.
