I dynoed with Irinum (SP) plugs and had 299 HP NA about a year before I did nitrous.
I dynoed with the TR6's at 299 HP NA for a baseline just prior to testing the Nitrous.
My Big *** can't feel any difference in the Plugs.

FWIW this question was answered by someone who drives a mid 10 second LT1 and he replied there was no difference at all in power and he has never encountered plug fouling. I drive my LT1 with the TR6 plugs gapped at .038 and I can tell no difference from the hotter plugs gapped at .060.
