TR-6 gapped at .035

Ngk BR7EFS .035 gap after countless hours or research, its a colder plug than the Tr6 which means safer plug

with no information on the setup how can you recommend a plug ?

we need to have a sticky with plug numbers / boost and nitrous levels like on tech . this questions is asked way too often.

**NOTE: Use chart for static compression and adjust heat range for nitrous use accordingly.
i know it doesent specify a hp amount or shot size but you should get an idea on the heat range you need for power output .

>600 hp - 6 heat range
>800 hp - 7 heat range
>1000hp - 8 heat range

from what i have read this is close but if someone with experience would please chime in to get that info based on facts it would be nice.
