TR-55 is the only way to go.

TR6 if you spray anything larger than a 150 shot.

I'll go down to my car and get you the P/N in a few, still have the box in my car

At autozone you have to ask for the part number or the V-spark NGK plugs

P/n = 3951

NGKs if you're not [close to] stock. I run Rapidfire's myself, but if I were to run nitrous or do anything to the internals I'd switch to NGKs... Rapidfires are twice as much money per plug I think...

Just run the gap that comes with them out of the box. Works perfectly.
