Default Running NGK TR6s everyday
Nitrous guys...are you running these plugs everyday? I've heard to make the swap from the TR55s, but will this effect everyday driving/idling/motor passes? Tell me your experiences.

I'm not a Nitrous gut but I ran them in both of my modded Lightnings and am running them in my Turbo 6.0. Not sure if this helps...

I've run TR6s for the past 13K miles. You won't have any problems, and probably won't even know the difference.

Most people when they swap out to TR6s say they have a really bad idle, that's usually because they've messed up their wires during the swap.

It will cause a little more misfire at idle, but with a cam, you prolly won't notice it.

If had mine in my truck for over 20K and its just fine. It even ran faster with TR6's than it did with stock plugs.

Good deal! I really appreciate the replies, guys. TR6s it is when I do my next tune up(which will most likely be before the kit is installed).

My truck has 62k on it. Would a change of the stock plugs be a good idea? What should I change them to?

I've run TR-6 plugs for the last year and never fouled a single plug.They even outlasted my plug wires.
