I've got the nos kit hooked up in the car, but no bottle attached to it right now. Tends to add much unwanted attention in my daily commute to and from work, not to mention all the shitheads who think they have something to prove. Just like in boomer's sig, nos is like a hot girl with a std, you know you wanna hit it, but are afraid of the consequences!

Anyways, I got some delco's from eBay and going to put them in this weekend. Also ordered a set of the ngk tr55's as well just to have on hand in case I'm not particularly fond of the performance with the delco's. Stock gap on the new delco's (41-110) set at .040 in favor of a more dd type vehicle. Not sure if I'm going to like these plugs on the performance side, but worth a shot.

In any case, going to give them a try and will put my input on them vs what is installed in there now in about a month or so.

Thanks for all the input guys!

If I were you, id just throw the ngks in. theyre most likely better than delcos. Plus as I sure you know, NGK is a very reputable company

Yeah, just for the delco's. Saved almost $2 each plug from going to autozone/pep boys/advance big box stores shipped.

Bought the NGK's locally, paid a bit more for em, but rather see a local guy get the extra coin than a national retailer.

Pizzas right, the tr6's are for forced induction or nitrous applications. They have a colder heat range. How often do you spray?

The car is fully setup for a wet kit ported into the slp lid when it was purchased from the previous owner. He wasn't sure what size jets were put into it and never adjusted it because it hasn't had a filled bottle on it yet. Not really planning to toss one on in the near future. Got a few other things to take care of before spraying it: intake, heads and cam. Already got the Lingenfelter LS1 intake, just have to find a decent set of heads and a cam package for a mild application that can still be used as a daily driver and get roughly the same gas mileage as I'm getting now.

Got the delco's in the car today, only took me a hour and a half. Not too bad for the first time replacing the plugs on this car. Definitely going to take a lot less next time. Think it took me about 30 mins alone just getting that last damn bolt off the coil pack bracket by #8.
