zippy Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm going to slowly make a list of spark plugs on here that might be of some use to tuners. I'll be posting a description of them as I go. Spark plugs heat range 5: TR5 TR55 Spark Plugs heat range 6: TR6: 4177 (Mostly used in GM's. Comes pre-gapped around .038 and most often used in low boost supercharger, low boost turbo, small nitrous shot, and strong n/a tuning on 91 octane and less) BKR6E-11: 2756 LZTR6AIX-13: 2315 (Chrysler spark plug. Commonly used in Jeep 3.8L supercharged) Spark Plugs heat range 7: BP7EFS: 3526 (Mostly used in GM's. Comes pre-gapped around .028 and is most often used in higher boost and nitrous applications. For those running high compression and trying to get by on 91 octane this plug may be a good option. This plug is very similar to the TR6 except heat range and base gap.) BR7EF: 3346 (Mostly used in GM's. Comes pre-gapped around .028 and is most often used in higher boost and nitrous applications. For those running high compression and trying to get by on 91 octane this plug may be a good option. The key to this plug is the non-projected tip.) 41-104: 12571165 (This is the spark plug that comes in the LSA and LS9's. If you want to use an iridium spark plug and run a supercharger this is the spark plug to use). Many more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bag Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Zippy I run the NGK TR6ix #3689. Feel free to add that one to your list if you'd like. Don't want to clutter up your thread so delete this too if you want. Edited February 13, 2012 by Bad Ass Silvy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelOne Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Are you gonna say what kind of spark plugs to get for different type of applications? Like these kind will work with N/A motors and also work with boost, or these can only work with N/A motors, or these can only work with boost? That would help out alot especially to us that havent began to modd our engines yet. Thanks in advance Zippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have to agree as all I use is NGK. I use the TR55 for all motor cars, and TR6 for any boosted or N20 cars obviously depending on the make. for GM thats the way to go for me.

zippy Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm going to list many different brands as I go, but NGK will be the main brand. This will likely bring many others to this site for information. Over the next couple of months I'm going to try to start posting up some tech info like this. I'm going to post the part numbers, brands, heat range, gaps, and common uses or recomended uses for a specific spark plug. Spark plug choice is alot more important than many may think and hopefully this list will be of some help to those who have a hard time finding part numbers or for those trying to figure out what is best for their setup.

AKSSS Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Bumping this up. At what point do you go from heat range 6 to 7? And how would the plug heat range effect on the tuning? More burn? More effiency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003_SuperSport Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Zippy, What are your thoughts on NGK-BR6EF? That's what Wheatley recommended for my setup. Description of my setup in my sig. I was going to use TR6's but Wheatley said that the BR6EF's would be a better option for me. You didn't mention them so I am a little concerned now.

gmJake Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I've ran Autolite plugs in my trucks for years after having problems with ACDelco, Bosch and Champion. I currently have Autolite double platinum APP5245 in the SS and Autolites in the 96. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The are the same heat range as the ngk tr6, except they are non projected style and are not iridium. So they are good for nitrous, or high boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
