Default Spark plugs? which ones for the cam?

So will a different plug better suit the running charicteristics of a cam'd motor over the OEM plugs? For those that don't know, I'll be running a 6.0L with the TR 224 114LSA cam, what will be the best plug for that set up? Is there a better plug than the Delco's for a cam'd motor?

I've always like NGKs. I ran the TR55's with my old LS1 w/ TR220 cam. I'm now running the TR6 (one step colder plug) because of the higher compression LQ9 11.5:1

do the TR55's suit a cam'd motor better than the Delco stockers?

Delco and NGk are basically the same company.. or one owns the other IIRC..
but you can probably get TR55s cheaper.
Im goin with TR6s before i spray..

but im not sure if you will see a difference with just plugs.. but i dont know...
