TR6 is the right plug, but popular opinion has you spread the gap slightly at .038.

I'm running this plug and this gap with no issues so far.

I dont know but I am having problems with my slightly rich ed wright custom chip, and my plugs that are 2 heat ranges colder than the TR55's I replaced.

My car hesistates, and stumbles, bogs, takes a long time to warm up. I think the hotter TR55's stay cleaner and are not affected as much by the slightly rich tuning

How do yours run with the TR6's?

its just a stock corvette ignition with an MSD 6AL and a window switch set at 3k for the nitrous.. At first i tried to gap the plugs at .35 but the car ran extreme rich and fouled all the plugs, so i pulled them out, cleaned them and set at .45 and have never had a problem out of it.. starts very quick in morning, usualy before 1 full revolution is made its started. I ran 1 full 15lb bottle of N20 through it (about 9 passes) and all plugs are still healthy and car runs like its brand new. Some people make fun of my oversized wires but you know what, they work really well, have a low resistance and look cool cause they friggin huge :D
