RE: Spark Plugs with a prochrger
I have 100 shot an TR-6's gapped at .030 They run great! You should use the TR-6's which are one step colder than stcok which is TR-55's. The smaller the gap the less power obtained but less misfire will happen. I would say start at .035 and see how the car runs. Ohh I use 93 octane with absolutely no tune! Runs friggin great! Put in some high octane and try .035 and I think you will be just fine. If you feel like it's missing go down to .032" and then .030". Very tidious to regap all 8, but once you get it set-up you'll never have to touch them until your next oil change (I would highly reccomend changing them every oil change) They are only like $15 for all 8, I'm sure you pay that for justt your oil filter!

RE: Spark Plugs with a prochrger
The previous owner had platinum plugs in my car with a Vortech, and when I bought it, my car wouldnt go over 5k rpm's under a load, it felt like it was hitting a rev limiter, So I just bought the basic copper Autolites sprak plugs and now my car runs great.
