I have the TR55IX in my FRC...They've been in for almost 2 years, and they've been great. That being said, the AC Delco iridium is a fine plug as well...
The TR55IX's are pre-gapped...(as are all fine tipped platinum/iridium plugs).

I'll be the spoiler and say...none of the above. Stock plugs for a stock engine..
I tend to agree--On a mostly stock engine I'd go back with what it came with & Stock gap--Mostly for longevity--As far as those new material plugs out there--My opinion is that those are all a waste--Just another way to get your money--If you hear of guys saying they made more power with them or felt the difference---chances are their plugs were bad to start with and ANY new plug would have made it run better--- The correct heat rage in a plug is the most important thing--A stock plug for a D/D has been researched by GM engineers to be the best choice---
On a modded engine although it's a differnt story-On a hds/cam car for example there is no better plug than the standard copper core plug
NGK TR-55 gapped at .040--Copper is the best material for getting rid of heat--however their drawback is they don't last long--Most new car manufacturers went with a Platinum combo plug strictly for the longevity--up to 75K miles on some just to eiminate maintenance tune-ups---
