Along with TR6's, check this out. He gives you good info on spark plug gaps to run at certain jet settings .

NGK TR6 are the plugs that I run in my LPE Stage-II.This should be a safe plug to run.

TR6 is the perfect plug. This is one heat range colder than stock as well as being copper. Copper has less of a tendency to hot spot causing pre-ignition and then detonation. I would keep the gap around .040" and you should do great. Remember, always start with the 50HP pills and work your way up.

2fst4u,

thanks for the info, this is my first time sprayin a c-5, so I just wanted to get the experience of my piers. I traded in my 383 96', it was time for something new. I imagine that I will start out at the 100hp jets, since I will be running my bottle pressure at around 700 psi. I'll play with that and then jet it up to about 200. That should put me around 150hp. This way as I spray it, my bottle pressure wont drop, and I can run a consitant hp....

I have NGK Tr6s gapped at 38 with my wet 100shot. They seem to do the trick.
