i heard these things are throwing down some serious HP once the air to fuel ratio is tuned with these installed. anyone got some?

the gain felt or noticed by changing to a high perfplugs is usually unnoticed. we have tried most plugs and have found that these engines like ngk and factory platinum plugs. i run iridium plugs. i have tried all plugs including beru plugs that were silver. i have found my set up to run best with ngk.
Wow someone else that recognizes the Beru name... lol. I had their GlowPlugs in my Benz :laugh:
I switched over to the NGK TR55s the other day and don't feel any difference from the stock GM LS1 platinum plugs. Same fuel mileage. Same idle. Definitely cheaper than platinum plugs. :thumb:
I just swaped my plugs today, just went with stock ACDelco plats, the part # was a bit different, but the plugs were pretty much the same. I also replaced the stock o2 sensors with Bosch ones, the truck runs so much better now! I also have some MSD 8.5mm plug wires coming in next week.

hey just read the deal in gm high tech about those plugs and how they gained like 4 to 8 hp with them. but that could be the fact that it had bad plugs to begin with. i have used the beru silverstone silver plugs. i have also used denso iridiums. i payed top dollar for all. the difference is nill. keeping it up with good plugs will yeild the same power.
Looks like they might be cool. One thing to think about on spark plugs is electricity takes the least path of resistance. I remember when Splitfire said they would hit off all 4 ground straps on the plug. They were right but only about 50 % of the plugs would actually hit. The ground straps on some of the plugs were further away so the spark would hit the straps that were closer to the electrode. If you buy these plugs, hook one up to your wire and turn the ignition over and have someone watch to see if it does what it is supposed to and then do the same with a new plug that you are running. I hate to see people get ripped off.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURY OR DEATH WHICH CAN OCCUR!!
yay its hard to say. but when i know that i can spend as little as 20.00 for plugs and they work even on nos. i find it hard to believe claims such as these. i now run iridiums since the electrode is hard as hell.
im now a fan of my ngktr55ix's as of 70k miles i put them in and its now got 74k and still runnin smooth and clean
lance...im running ngk tr-6's right now...what is this number for the iridiums...Quote:

bud8fan, I have a set of TR6's I've ran through 17 bottle's of NOS and no problems. I haven't tried the iridium yet but they look pretty cool.
(Thus far there has been no problems reported regarding use of iridium plugs with nitrous oxide.) This is a direct quote from NGK.
ITR6F-13 is the replacement for TR6
