Blown 346 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) NGK TR55. MSD Wires. These plugs are only for naturally aspirated engines. Forced induction or nitrous use NGK TR6 Edited April 5, 2014 by Blown 346 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mando28 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Yea I'm getting the NGK TR55IX but I'm debating between the MSD 8mm or the taylors 10.4mm wires I hear good and bad things about both NGK TR55. MSD Wires. These plugs are only for naturally aspirated engines. Forced induction or nitrous use NGK TR6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I have used Taylor wires before and had issues with them not lasting. This wasnt in my SSS, but my SBC Camaros. I have always used either the MSD 8MM wires in all my LS based cars or Accel with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muggs Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 NGK TR55IX and Taylor thunder volt wires 10.4mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Tr6 and msd wires. I've ran the Taylor 10.4 in another ls1 and bad results with the wire coming apart from the head connector, seems common from what others have reported. Some guys here have had good results with them and no issues. I just didn't wanna risk it as the MSD wires have always been problem free for me.

chpspecial Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Gm released a bullitin recommending tr5 plugs. I personally would run the tr5 plug as it's a half step colder than the tr55 and has a smaller gap.

Blown 346 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I don't have any issues with the tr55. How big a difference between the two? The only difference is the gap. The TR5 use a gap of .039, the TR55 has a gap of .059 I like the TR 55 myself as when i tried using the TR5 with the smaller gap the motor didnt like it. I run my plugs between .055 to .060 since 04 with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combo of gap and heat range helps out truck that have a slight miss at idle plus improved throttle response. A tune usually over comes this, but this is how gm fixed the low or erratic idle on most truck.
