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.

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.
