yes i have used these same plugs for 6 years also and haven't had a problem. as for the fuel system i do agree with you. i don't understand how it was fueling the motor for so long on 13psi. i will be changing that you as well. really im not shooting for a record truck just something to have fun with. im planning on over building it this time. id really just like a mid 11's with the truck then im done.
Higher cylinder pressure is more prone to pre-detonation. Even if the TR6 has worked fine for you doesn't mean that it's the right plug for your application. A projected tip plug's ground strap and electrode are sticking out of the combustion chamber, getting hot from the supercharged combustion. At low boost/N2O levels the projected tip plug can be tuned around. I recommend a non-projected plug in the proper heat range for N2O and boost. I also suggest reading your plugs. The timing mark is very easy to read to get timing dialed in.
heres a quick video i took. you can see how much it smokes with no load on the motor and just dry rev it.

Listen here fellas. Boost/N2O = higher cylinder pressure

Just think about the combustion chamber. Any sharp protruding object = hot spot. Hot spot = detonation. Detonation = the end
A non projected plug is another safety measure against detonation. It's one less thing that could cause a problem.
I ran NGK BR7EF in my H/C stock bottom ended LS1 and didn't have any performance or fouling issues toodling around town n/a.

It was a 65 wet. fuel was half 105 and half 91 pump. it was my last motor that i sprayed not this one. but it was on the same injectors and coils.

I highly agree with Nathan.. Also if you have that much money dumped into a boosted LS motor why would you go with a mail order tune... A boosted motor is only going to be as good as the Tune along with maintenance.... That color of smoke looks as if your burned a ring and is getting blow by....

I know its crazy it lived so long. Here's the real kicker is I have got the most miles on the motor that I was running 13psi on. The motor I ran 9psi on didn't even come close to living as long. Unless so how I have bigger injectors than I think but my paper work says 42# are what I have. What is your setup now and what are you running for injectors?
went up to 75# and ran up to 9-10psi and they werent even close to 60%.
im runnin stock 24# or what ever they are.. ha, 105% at 6200 with a baby cam in the LQ4

I hear you there. I cant even find a machine shop Id trust to clean up a motor, and talking about tuning just makes everybody ask me what carb I run, and why would I want all that computer crap when i tell them about efi live and hptuners.
Finding a dyno is also impossible. I've never been able to find a chassis dyno in the state.
