Default need help with plugs and gap please...

im sure everyone has seen this question a million times. but here it goes one more time. im not sure what gap or plug to run on my 01 ws6. im doing a 6.0l swap w/patriot ls6 heads, ms3 cam, ls6 intake, ported throttle body, long tubes and of course the occasional 150 shot of n2o. i have a new set of tr55s that i was going to put in it, but im just not sure what to do. any info would help. thanks.

my guess is since you have n20 you need colder plugs. i think guys usually run tr6 with a fairly small gap...like .040" or so.

Yeah if you are going to spray the car, I would go with a TR6. I usually gap them at .035". That should have you in good shape!

IMO a tr6 is the wrong plug for your car, do some reading in the nitrous forum

I ran TR7 plugs @ .029 on my lq9 when I had a blower and a lil spray and it ran fine. If I were you tho, I would think TR6 plugs gapped at .035 should be fine

TR6 is NOT a nitrous plug.

You need a NON projected tip plug.

all these guys telling you to run a TR6 are clueless and are just going by "what they heard"

Here are some TR6's on a 150 shot ... notice the melted ground straps.
