TR6...thats what I run.

The tr55 will work...but they will be getting a little bit on the hot side.

100 horse over stock and or 11:1 compression equals a step colder plug.

Is the TR6 a tapered seat plug or gasketed?? Which type of plug do the heads that you're running now take??

If the ls2 head is the same as the ls1 then it's a tapered seat with .708" reach.

I run the TR6, ran the TR55's and they were too hot, better safe than sorry, and bring it down a notch.
