Boosted engines need cooler plugs, hence why every one runs tr6's because they are colder than the tr55's which are made more for NA applications.

Sounds like the thing to go with then,thanks!!

I just dropped my truck off to get the FMIC mounted up and the piping routed and installed for the kit.

It should be done tomorrow morning.

I did the Tr6's gapped to .035, no wires(stock wires are good enough) Walbro In-line 255lph, new OEM fuel Filter, fresh oil change, 43lb truck/suv injectors, and a full tank of 93 octane!
