Default Has anyone used these plug wires?

They arrived today with some heat boots, thin wall socket and TR6 plugs for my 03 Z06, wasnt sure what was good or bad when i ordered them but they are Made by B&B under their OML brand, they look okay outwardly..good terminal ends and thick boots. I plan to give them a try but ill be hanging onto my originals just in case.

TR6 plugs are for boosted LS engines (usually gapped .035 from the factory which is good as used for boost).

If N/A should’ve gotten TR55 and those are gapped .045. If you decide to keep the colder TR6 (not ideal) I’d open the gap to .045

Personally for N/A I prefer AC Delco Iridium instead of NGK. Lasts longer more consistently.

Hmm, i asked in multiple groups and read a good bit on forums and the TR6 seemed like the go-to plug for a basic bolt on LS6. Rockauto kept saying TR55.

I've been using those wires for years. Work great! As with any wires, always ohm them before use to verify.
