My car has always run pretty good on the TR6's.

It depends on what you really want the car to do. I have a direct port system on the motor, the motor was built for nitrous. The car went 11.05 on motor alone with 28" tall tires, 3:42 gears, nitrous cam-converter etc.-3500lbs + 116 fuel. I also have very little timing in the car because of the nitrous tuning. If I wanted to optimize for NA runs I could run a 26" tire or steeper gears and re tune for NA, maybe go to a lower octane fuel.
If I wanted to really get crazy with it I could change the cam, converter etc.
Not gonna happen.
In your case if you basically have a strong NA motor with maybe a 100-150 shot and all you have to do is change the plugs when you wanna spray- that's not such a bad deal. Look at it that way.

I've went from TR55's to Tr6's, back to TR55's, back to TR6's. I'm going back to TR55's because at high rpm's mine raz's (fuel lightoff) when I decelerate ... smoke's like a bitch above 5500 rpms.
With TR55's, it doesn't shoot fire out the Borla tips on deceleration and it doesn't smoke at high rpm's.

I ran TR55s in my old car for 8 months. I hooked up the NOS dry kit and installed the TR6s. I could never tell a difference. Car still idled good, revved clean, and they never gave me problems during the 3 months they were in the car before I traded it off. I didn't use the spray much either, just one bottle that entire time. Most driving was cruising town and shorter trips.
About the .6 loss on someones car, I call BS. I had my car on the dyno with both plugs. The peak hp #'s were within 5. This is on different days and we all know it varies a small amount from day to day and the postion of the car on the rollers. I believe there was something else wrong with that car besides having TR6s. Different cars respond differently and I know that, but .6 is ridiculas. Not flaming anyone, just my .02, good luck to you all.

I had TR6's in my 94 Lt1 heads and cam car and could tell no difference. I wouldn't worry about the .6 drop..there had to have been something else wrong in that situation, that is a very big drop.
