Default Is a TR6 good enough for a 175 shot........

Whats the best plug for using a 175 shot? what gap should they be at? and whats the jet size for a 175 shot: I've heard a few different jet combos.

And just for the hell of it: what do you guys think a cutout is worth, on a H/C, BOTTLEFED, car running a stock muffler and bullet muffler? (in the i pipe)


Thanks

Dame

so,im gonna take it that the tr6's are cool enough......... is that 0.35 gap taking into account, that rule of thumb of: "for every 50 hp that you add you need to decrease the gap by .004."

im just trying to cover my bases here, and hoping theres a difference between a 150, and a 175 shot!

They will be fine.....but it wouldn't hurt to put in a cooler plug. With my stock internal car with a 200 shot I run the 5671-8A NGK plugs with some 104 race gas and my timing is at 21 degrees. I'd just rather take the safe route. They didn't hurt my performance on motor either like some may say.

I run em on mine, but will go 1 step cooler ont he next plug change. I also pull 6* of timing, and my 175 shot is spread across 2 stages (100 @ 3k rpm, 75 @ 4200 rpm).
