Default Which plugs should I use???

I'm going to be installing an HSW 78mm wet plate kit and spray a 150 shot. I have TR55's in now but don't know if I should go one or two steps colder. Which plug should I use? Engine mods are in my sig.

Thanks in advance!

br7ef at .33-.35 should be fine on 150.

btw- we have very similar mods, you have low 10 sec potential if not high 9s.

Thanks for the info man! Congrats on he mag article!

I'm still on the stock 4l60 or 10 bolt rear for now so I don't know how realistic those times will be. I plan on taking it easy out the hole with the spray till I put a good Trans and rear in.

That means your tune is off. Make another thread and post some pics of the plugs.

I am reading up on reading plugs right now lol. I realized about 30 minutes after i posted that what an uneducated post it was.. I am gonna get some fresh plugs tomorrow and get to reading.
I have been told a couple of different things though such as the br7's are too cold and when i saw these i just assumed that was the case. Woops on my part.

Br7's are fine. I ran them without problem for over a year and a half. I had planned to up to a br8 or br9 for a 200 shot but then sold the nitrous. I wouldn't even consider spraying on a tr6. Sure it might work, but with how cheap plugs are why even chance it?

Keep in mind when you start swapping plugs around it is a good idea to have the car logged to make sure the trims are in check and it did not throw off fueling too bad. At a minimum check WOT AFT with a wideband.
