spark plugs

My trans am runs great but has reached over 100,000 miles. So I was thinking that I should put in some new plugs. What are some thoughts on this and what are the best plugs for our cars

I'd reccommend the NGK TR55s. I used to use them and they worked great. I currently use the TR6s...

TR-55's will do the trick. I run TR-5's gapped at .45

On a mostly stock car I'd run TR55s at stock gap.

as far as the numbers go, is it the higher the number, the colder the plug? Arent the TR6's for cars with nitrous?
