Ted Jannetty was the one who recommended I try this. He said he runs factory plugs with all of his bolt on & cam cars.

hmm... it seems like it's just not worth it then.
Are there any other plugs which shows some gains on n/a cammed cars?

The guy who built my motor recommended these plugs and my tuner (much better builder just much farther away) said ... PUT THE FACTORY BACK IN! .. I did, never been happier. Smoother idle smother part throttle up to WOT

no. all the trick aftermarket plugs are snake oil bs. stock is good, tr5 is equal but way cheaper. tr6 for boost, bkr6 for nitrous. of course, 7 or 8 etc for more nitrous or more boost.....

CrudeJewelSS · 05-24-2016, 12:32 PM

What gap for the tr6 with boost, 7 ish psi on magnuson

christianchevell · 05-24-2016, 05:12 PM

The iridium plugs come pre gapped to our needs N/A and I have heard tr7ix are more for boost, and you do not want to damage the tips trying to gap iridium .... what I have heard over the years, this is a thread from the dead. I use the tr6ix .

Prob made a big difference because one was either damaged or fouled. I run the tr5s in a cammed ls3. Just change them a lite more often.
