TR6's gapped at .35 for added insurance.

Made the same power on the dyno as the stockers.

I'm running stock now, but I've got both TR6IX's and regular TR6's available to go in (don't ask why). This is good timing, I'm wondering which of the two would work better (or are they the same....with the IX's just lasting longer?).

You are always one step behind.... I installed a set of TR6IX plugs last night. I pulled out a 12K mile set of plain TR6s. Can't give a good answer why I chose the IX plugs besides the possibility of longer life and the strength of iridium.
