    You'll also find that those who have burned a set of NGKs use Autolites for their next set! AR93's for spray, AR104's for stock.

    I'd have to say NGK's all the way. I've used everything from Champion, Autolite, NGK, etc. and I must say I am most impressed with the NGK's, although it's not like Auto Lite's are bad plugs - they're not. I use NGK TR6's in mine!

    I am looking at replacing the stock Delco Iridiums and changing to a NGK Iridium. According to NGK the stock replacement is a TR5IX, yet everyone (including the WS6 store) is reccomending a TR55. Anybody know what the difference is and why folks recommend the TR55 over the TR5IX?

    Keep in mind these are going in a totally stock WS6.

    I saw Horsepower TV do a plug comparison test and these E3's suprised me.


    The E3 generated an average of 5.8 more horsepower while using 3.9% less fuel.

    I went from the stock plugs, to the NGK TR55's and actually didn't like them as much. Soon after I jumped on the NGK Iridium TR55IX bandwagon and was much happier with the results and seat of the pants feel in part, low and wide open throttle situations.

    I recently had Livernois port and polish a set of LS6 heads and threw a set of comp cams, LS6 intake, BBK T.B. and a few other goodies and thought it might be a good idea to get a slightly colder plug to be on the safe side of things since I was seeing close to 400rwhp through my auto.

    I looked around and found a local company called WeaponX and the owner said he would change all 8 for free as long as I bought his plugs. He said that they were the plugs to use and I thought, smokin deal as I know how brutal it is to change a couple of them so I figured I'd give their spark plugs a shot. (Yes, I made sure he changed all 8)

    I can't recommend their plugs enough. I would have never thought that spark plugs could make that much of a before and after difference, especially since I already had NGK iridiums in the car that were performing better then the TR55's. I believe the model name of the spark plug was K6CF, but don't quote me on that. Apparently WeaponX is well known in the Mustang community.

    You shouldn't feel any performance difference from the TR55 to the iridium TR55. The difference is in how long they last.
    Of course...that is if both sets were gapped properly.
