stumbling after plug change

I switched over to the NGK TR6 plugs and at idle it seems to run a little ruff. Kinda sounds like it misses a little bit. Once i get on the gas though its smooth and doesnt have any problems. Any ideas??

I checked the gap on all the plugs before installation

Definately sounds like a gap issue. Check all the plug wires make sure they are on correctly.

Yeah I checked all the gaps TWICE before I installed them. Pretty sure all the wires are on correctly because like I said it runs fine when on the throttle.

I dunno ill have to pull the plugs and check um. Damn not looking to pull demon # 8 again

Gap needs to be a 0.06. Some NGK's come as a 0.059, which is fine.
