Default What type of plugs?

Hey there guys. I heard that TR6's were being discontinued. So what type of plugs will you be running now? Are there any close runner ups?

OH NO!! please tell me this isn't true.. i love them damn plugs.. once ran down the track on autolite 104's a friend said to use... ate them up.. swapped back to a fresh set of tr6's at the track, and the next pass ran my best mph ever lol

i had a few idle issues with the a4 and tr6's gapped at .035, but they never hurt my n/a times... though i had to give them a quick spirt of gas every now and then to keep them from fouling..

wow, im lost, i was about to order plugs next week... what should i get guys?

Autolite 104s are hotter plug then the TR6s. That may have been a part of the reason you ate them up.

TR6s are a pretty good plug for 98% of the guys out there. We buy too many for them to discontinue them Stock number is 4177 call your local advanced auto

From what Ive seen iridium is ok to use. Platinum however should not be used in anything with alot of cylinder pressure/temp.
