Where the f#*k you getting them for that? They are $6 a piece around here..

I am running AC Delco 41-906's gapped at .040 (high compression) in mine. I have a GM OPTI with a MSD Blaster Coil.
Runs like a fat kid after a cupcake, slow but determined.

I was working on my friends LS2 402, 10 second 01 t/a, he was running TR-9's and he fowled out the plugs so we went to Napa, Advance Auto, and Autozone, they all carried the line but had to order, all were in the high 1$ range per plug. like 1.68 per, thunder racing sells for 2 and change + shipping.

On a side note if your nearing 400 rwhp and running some good timing like 35+ then TR-6's are a great choice.

If you live near a powersports store, such as a Yamaha dealership or something like that, they more thank likely carry NGK plugs. I know my dad does... so I gte plugs really cheap. Just have the number of the plug you want. They may have to order, but check on the price.

i heard its not a good idea to spray during the break in period but i do have a nitrous kit that could go on .... i might just take out the tr6s and put the tr55s in there, still the same gap?
