Hi There:
If your a racer & like frequent plug changes( 30k-40k) tr55 are for you.
If for the street iridium plugs are best a/c delco p/n 41-985 gapped at .040

Update:
just pulled all the plugs, they are #41-952.
Manual calls for the same # (41-952)?
Also, manual says to gap at- 0.60?

So, which is correct?

EDITJust completed a search, found a "bulletin" indicating the changes. Thanks!

I used the Delco Iridiums in my last C5 - good price and they performed very well. Got them from Gene at www.gmpartshouse.com.
