I can't find the info i need......spark plugs
Getting ready to my plugs and wires on the PA and it has the stock pulley. I bought the TR55'* and i was needing to know what gap I need for these things.
By the way on the box they are called TR5 i just want to be sure that is the same thing.

What does the actual plug say, let'* put the box aside.
I believe they MIGHT be close or the same, let'* realize it'* early and I'm sniffing aerosol fumes for a project.

Alright ... jump online and do a quick cross reference at any of the parts stores. If that doesn't work ... go to NGK'* website and look up the differences.

sorry......
They are not a hotter plug actually, they are the same heat range as stock and TR55s. The only difference between a TR5 and a TR55 is that the TR55s come with a preset gap of .055 to .059 while the TR5s come in closer to .039. They do this because you should only change the preset gap of a plug by plus or minus ten thousandths. So if you wanted to run a .035 gap you wouldn't really want to use the TR55. And on the flipside if you wanted a .060 gap you'd be best running the TR55s.
Since most LS1s tend to like .050, you could run either plug and it wouldn't cause a problem. I say go with those TR5s and run anywhere from a .045 to .050 gap. I ran TR6s at .044 when I ran my 12.68 time and my car seemed to like it.
