Plugs.....
Anything I should know before swapping out my TR-55 NGK plugs with TR-6'*?
For those who don't know what I'm talking about, TR-55'* are one heat range colder than stock, and TR-6'* are two heat ranges colder than stock.
I plan on gapping them at .55" unless I'm told differently. Something that I should have done with the TR-55'* but didn't know until it was too late, so they were gapped a .60" (stock gap) when I put them in.

Wow...thanks for the input when i gave up on waiting and tossed them in at .55"
ARRRGHHH I knew this was gonna happen.
Oh well, car'* running better with them. The 55'* came out lookin alright.
She scoots from a roll just a lil better now...which is what I was looking for.
John....I'm trying to cool things off under there, it'* warming up....
Plus got some good mod'* on the table that may actually really utilize them.

My opinion is that the gap should get smaller based on boost not heat range. 3.2 - 3.4 pulleys should run .055. 2.8 to 3.2 should run about .050 - .052. 2.7 and smaller should run .045 to .050. This is based on my (and INTENSE'*) personal experiences.

His reference point is actually boost levels. Not pulley size per se.
Find out what your boost peak is, then relate that to equal boost on a S2, find out what pulley size produces that boost, and pick your number.
