I've used Denso, Bosch, NGK, and Autolite over the years. They all worked. Just make sure the heat range is right.

Ok here it is

Prior to 2005 GM used .055 GAP spark plugs on all LSx motors. Starting in 2005, they switched to .040 GAP (this size) plugs to provide a better idle when things like cheap gas are encountered. Any LS2, LS3, L99, or LS7 will come from the factory with a .040 GAP
TR55's come with 0.60 gap I believe (.050 - .070)
TR5's come with 0.40 gap I believe (.030 - .050)

That's the only difference, correct me if I am wrong.

You got it backwards, it's actually the TR55 plug with the smaller gap. That's what I just put in mine and they were all pregapped at .040".

I would have to disagree, TR5's are gapped @ .040. Who knows lol, I always check my gap out of the box and some of them are the same but I have ran into different gaps before.

Do you run 93?

I say TR5 @ 0.45 or TR55 @ 0.50. Can't go wrong either way.
