which spark plug
Hey guys on my 2003 Z06, im running P1sc setup with 8.5 psi of boost,Kooks 1.78 headers,boost-a-pump,Nick Williams 102mm tb,and a Fast intake.Car runs great,and makes gobs of power.I just turned 28k on my odometer.I have never changed my plugs.Still have the original ones that came from the factory.When i swapped intake and tb,i installed a set of MSD wires,but not the plugs.Im now in the middle of installing a comp camshaft 624/621.What plugs to u guys recommend i go with.Ive read some articles over the years,but i want the most proven for blower application.Thanks fellas in advance.

Tr6 is used because its a cooler temp plug. they are only like $2 each too so you can change them often!
