Default spark plug problem

Yesterday I decided to change my sparkplugs- I went from NGK tr55's gapped at 60 to tr6's gapped at 37 because of the supercharger. But now my truck feels slugish-lost power- Do I need to regap the tr6 or keep the tr55? Any advice- please

Make sure you didn't brake the insulators on the plugs. TR6's are what you need.

You shouldn't notice a big change between the plugs. Did you change wires at the same time?

Mine were gaped @ .43 and it was blowing the spark out, then i gaped them @.35 and everything was fine. Also i had to change plug wire because the old one were shot. It missed like crazy before i changed them.

I need to change my plug wires. Ive got like 80K on them, but they dont seem to miss a beat. What wires are you guys using?? Also Tbyrne recommended TR55 at .35 for my blower. Should I change to the TR6?

Do you not like the Taylors or do you just think you aren't getting your $$$ worth? Just curious, by the way.
