I run my TR6's at .038 and it runs the same as TR55's at .050. FWIW.

see my idle is ok, however my engine shakes, and i have 20K on these tr55IX's and over 100 passes. along with a few long road trips. so i think i'ma see a difference between my TR6IX and my old plugs. My main reason for plugs is a slight misfire when deep into 4th gear. i'm putten em in tomorrow i'll let u all know how it goes.

So my TR55IX's were gapped at .50 when i took them out. I put the TR6IX's in right out of the box with the .38 gap. and I do feel like the car runs alot smoother. I havent really had a chance to test the preformance, however from the drive home from the shop i did get on it a few times and it did feel to be a little more responsive.
