Ok I replaced all of the spark plugs, easy one by one, cable by cable and still the same idle, so I think thats normal with those TR6, however my car runs good, is just that lil shaking when idle some other people looked at it at the dealer and they said sounds normal .. If you go back to those plugs just let me know the difference man please..
and by the way replacing the plugs all of them were in good shape still but is ok is done now

TR6's are perfect for a moderate shot(100-200) on an LS1, but too cold(dissipate too much heat) to keep themselves clean of deposits on motor (like you drive around 90% of the time)in a near stock engine. In other words TR6's will start to foul slightly after time and there's not much you can do about it, just change them more often

I also run TR6's and haven't had any problems with them. That's really a little weird that your car had that big of an issue with them. Oh well, every car is different...

Having some issues with my car. Installed TR-6's and msd wires and all was fine. Now about 1,500 miles later the car misses and pops at near wot to wot??? Checked all connections, put stock wires back on, and even changed fuel filter. Still runs like ****! Going to put TR-55's back in today and see what happens. I'm hoping the plugs are bad.

Ok I think the car never had problems with those TR6 plugs, is just that I forgot how the idle was before putting them on, took it to the dealer and they said sounds normal. so here is a video can anybody tell if it sounds normal?

it's hard to tell over the video. my car idles normal too, except for the occasional pop from the engine. that's what i hate the most. it is the worst on a really hot day after the car has been driven and is sitting at idle.

the plugs arent bad dude, i've concluded that's just what these plugs do in our cars. guys with spray are just going to have to live with it.

Yup, swapped plugs and car runs great. No visiable defects and they all were burning good. Only 1,500 miles on them. Ordering new ones and i'll see how long they last. I'm just glad it was something simple.

As far as the ignition system goes with nitrous, I've read that it is good to use a more powerful coil and a better ignition box w/rev limiter. I wonder if upgrading these things would fix the TR6 problems. They probably still won't last as long but maybe the rough idle and poping could be lessened. I'm just guessing though. I'm still weighing my options on nitrous.

When I think about having to change my spark plugs every oil change when on the spray that really makes me think twice about getting it.

ngk's were the quickest fouling plugs i have ever used in my dirtbike (used alot on my 144).. now i got a 125 wet kit im going to look for an alternative company for my nitrous plugs... the only ngk's i havent had a problem with is the iridiums on my db but i also havent ridden it that much with the new plug in.. the oem plug was even an ngk as you can see it didnt last long before it fouled (still probly only ridden that bike 10 times). ngk's do seam to stay tighter/fit better then any other i have used though.... i think im going to get the zex nitrous/boost plugs for my car. i hate the idea of getting rid of my +4 bosch's there awsome. safety is a bigger concern though.

lol, man I think we dont have a choice but to get used to it, but hey phillip what is exactly that happens with your car, cuz besides the weird idle on mine everything sounds fine, and it runs same as before, maybe something else is wrong there with yours? and I think im going to get first of all a coil pack relocation kit, so If I get to change them often will be easy, first time it took over 4 hrs, now It took 1 and still was a bitch to put the cables back

I was looking at Zex.com and found those plugs I think. It looks like there are 2 types, 1 for up to 400hp and 1 for up to 700hp. I read the description and it seems like they would be a little more durable since they are copper with a nickel coating.
I will also hate to give up my current plugs(NGK iridium) and lose my mpg gain.

How often do you change your plugs?
