recommended spark plugs? I am in need of a tune-up for my '97 TA WS6. I was wondering what spark plugs would be good for me? I don't plan on competing in any events, but I will take it to the strip every now and then just for recreation. (I also like highway runs against imports haha). So, I don't want a crappy plug, but I don't need a top-dollar competition plug. What do you guys recommend? Thanks everyone!

They're a dependable plug? I do want a PERFORMANCE plug, but nothing seriously for racing with an extraodinary heat range... Are these TR-55's Iridium or something? What makes them so special, or any plug so special for that matter?
The NGK TR55 is just a basic copper plug, nothing fancy. The only real upgrades you can make to a plug are longer service life which is the only benifit to platinum and iridium. The multiple electrodes and all are just marketting crap. You want something that will last a long time the 96-7 Delco platinums are the way too go so long as you don't spray or boost.
I read that the plugs that advertise a horsepower gain will actually gain you a few horse...FOR a few runs up and down the track and then after a little bit the deposits just dirty it up and its no better than a wal mart plug.
hum, now i'm you got me thinking.
my motor is beening rebuilt .030 over, forged pistons, forged rods, heads are beening done by Advance Induction w/ custom cam.
pacesetter mids, SLP intake, ported intake manifold, ARP hardwere, studs in the main,
new timing chain, high flow cat, magna flow muffler.
I bought some plugs Bosch Platinum +4
are they ok ?
i used them on my stock 1500 350 truck 1993 and they worked great.
Anyway are they ok for my new motor or should i get a colder plug or differant?
Thanks guys.

I like this guys posting style
