Just wondering what people are running for NGKs, the TR6s, TR5s, etc.
My car is N/A with the intake cams advanced 4 degrees.
Thanks for any info you may provide and have a great day.

Wow-thanks so much for the information.
So are you running a 180* thermostat?

Yes. You'll need a "tune" to take advantage of the colder stat & plugs.

Yep, I'm on my 2nd set now, put about 70k miles on my first set and when I took them out I thought they would look really bad but they were pretty good and looked just how they were suppose to and no oil on them! YAY lol
