Default NGK's

I purchased NGK tr 55's for my 02 SS. My car is only modded with an air lid and exhaust. I just wanted to double check that I am putting the right ones in ( there were other tr 55's, for ex: tr 55 gp ?...) and want to know if I should use the factory gap of .06. Thank you.

GP is NGK's single platinum "G-Power" plug. It doesn't hurt to get those.......but I wouldn't shell out the extra for the Iridiums; those only make a difference in smaller displacement cars IMO.

Tr 55 are a warmer plug, E85 burns a little hotter than 93 that could give you knock. Its not in stone but a tuner told me that. I havent heard anybody havin that issue but its just somthin to beware of. The regular tr55 is the ones I used all copper none of that irudium stuff.
