TR6 is a cooler heat range plug.

For your application, what's wrong with the O.E. platinum plugs?
You wont see a difference between stock and the TR55 NGK's. IMO.

The 160* T-stat only hurt your MPG's. The 160* stat is only good fo FI or medium to wild NA motors.
You will not see any hp/tq gains from doing this. How do I know, I've done it and lost 1 mpg on average. No gains in power.
I'm keeping it in because I already have a S/C to add.

The TR6 plugs are a colder heat range. If you are spraying, there is no need for a lower heat range plug. The NO2 is already cooling things down.
