Because they saw the thread from 2004 that said the TR6 was THE nitrous plug...

Things in the performance world change daily. Keeping up with the latest knowledge will make your car faster and safer!

Man, there are some guys that just aren't listening in this thread. You have all the mods and one of the fastest, if not the fastest guy on the bottle here telling you what to use and you bite his hand. I guess the old saying is true "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make'em drink".

Bottom line is:

Does a tr6 work? Yes
Can you make something as shitty as a E3 plug work? Yes
Is there something better than a TR6? Yes, a Br6ef . Then why not use it and it cost the same?

To ATV and the mods: Keep doing what you are doing. Preach to the noobs that will listen and the ones that don't they will learn on very hard and expensive learning curve. You are all doing a good job keep it up.

I ran TR6s on my ls1 with a 75 shot for a few pass's before i switched to the TR7 and a 175 shot. I never had any problems on that small shot with the TR6 but then again i never saw a drop in performance even on motor going with the TR7, it simply gives you alot more headroom with no down sides and is the right choice for most any nitrous setup.

So a Br7ef which is the equivalent to a TR7, just non-projected is good to around a 200-225 shot. Would you use the same tune-up on a Br7ef with a 225 shot that you would use a tr7?

There's no such thing as a TR7... They haven't made one in years (if they ever did). For a 225 you should be using a B8EFS or possibly colder

LOL... I didn't even look at the sn. I just get so tired of seeing these threads. Might start locking them all and adding a link to the non-projected plug thread

^ Please do.

It gets old trying to argue with guys with 11.60 nitroused cars and other misinformed know-it-alls about NOT using tr6s.

Just installed the 125 shot on my RS, i thought i had TR6s in and figured i would be ok till i changed the plugs later as i was in a rush to go run a Cobra and i didnt even have time to install the window switch, i pulled 6 degs which was too much, and i threw aviation fuel in the nitrous dedicated fuel cell, didnt even put the bottle warmer on and all runs were on a 750 PSI bottle, but these ended up being a TR5, they are old and have been in the engine for a year and a couple months, glad i didnt heat the bottle and i pulled too much timing, but the car runs at 16.5 A/FR at idle and the camera made them look whiter than they are, they have a gold tint to them.

I hope you didn't hurt anything on that run. I'd be checking for holes in the pistons.

I think I've found some of the problem I pm'ed you. Also this non-projected plug thread. Would be helpful if it was a sticky. Since if your knew and don't know about using non-projected plugs then why would they even search for it. I didn't know there was one either and I'm in this section daily.
When I first went to add nitrous I looked here to this sticky. -spark-plug-info-jetting-faqs-all-nitrous-info-read-me
Well it lists the incorrect plug (TR6).

A/FR was great, the color of the plug is from lean idle conditions, no big deal.
