    I like the Nip made plugs of NGK. I have the TR55 in my Z71

    i've been wanting to try those, i usually go with the denso or ngk's.

    the denso have been in my truck for two years now, look very clean and no probs,

    I put the bousch platniums in when I swapped motors. When I did my head swap saturday they looked brand new. As far as performance I wouldn't know if they were any better than the next plug!

    I normally run the TR55 but put one set of Autolite 305 in and they did good as well.

    i run the tr55's as well and i like them. never pulled them to check but they have around 15K on them so far. i did put a set of bosche plus 4's in my uncles dodge and i think it made a rougher idle. only experience i have with those tho.

    I'm running the NGK TR6 plugs. I changed to these when I was running the ProCharger and they do fine.
