So, if after the FLP w/no cats install and after I have my PCM reprogrammed by Cartek, I am making in the neighborhood of 400 rwhp, I should go with the TR55s gapped at .55?
That plug setup should work fine for you.

Out of the box, my TR55's were gapped at .050 inches. I increased that to .055, but I have also read on this forum (and in tech tips I believe), that leaving them at .050 is quite acceptable for a stock LS1. Is this accurate?
