TR6's come gapped at a loose .035. TR55's come gapped at .050, but for boosted applications should be gapped at .035 to keep from blowing out the spark and it makes the plug a little cooler.

according to the manufacture the tr6's come gapped at 39. i went to the tr6ix's. i do not run a blower but i do run nitrous. they work great. the iridium tip is much harder than the platinums.

Finally found the TR6's at Napa Autoparts this morning, I'll be putting them in this afternoon.

btw, I got the regular V-power plugs, not the IX's. Napa gives a AAA discount, so that was nice.

I just finished checking the gap on all 8 with my spark plug feeler gauge; all were set at .035.

WHen I gapped a set, they were a real loose .035, which would explain 02's .039 that he came up with. Give them a try and see if it does any better.

mine are good to go. I couldn't gap them any closer

I'll have to wait until tomorrow to install them, when my torque wrench finds its way home

Who needs a torque wrench ... it's just spark plugs. Snug'em, then a little and it'll be good to go.

Make sure you use some anti-seize.
