Default NGK SparkPlugs?

What is the correct plug for a stock 04 Z06?
NGK list the TR5 (2238) gap at .040, but
MANY other sites list the TR55 (3951) gap at
.060. Seems to be the same plug, just different gapping.

Which is correct?

Thanks,
Larry

They are the same plug, just set at different gaps from the factory. Get either one and set the gaps to about 0.050-0.055 and you're set. I got a set of TR5's to go in my car soon.

Thanks, All,
I'll get a set of TR55s since they are
closer to .055 gap from the factory.

I have read around that the tr55's are the plug for the C5Z's. I'm getting a set this week. Is .55 the stock gap for the AC's. ? Is it recommended .60 for the TR55's maybe??
