Default NGK TR6IX plugs

Buddy just sold me a new set of these plugs for $20 - figured for $20bucks- what the hell - Anyway, I want to make sure it is ok to use a slightly cooler plug in the 05Z - Anyone have experience with them? Plugs are cheap so If I have to get 55's I will - I just remember running cooler plugs on my old Hotrod builds - seem to make more power. - Thoughts?

I use NGK TR6 in my boosted C5. That being said the majority of driving is non-boosted.

Nah... There good. Also Picked up some OML 10mm racing wires as well. Ohmed them out.. Nice build and fairly cheap.
