Next month I'm doing another 2,200mile road trip to San Francisco and back. I figured I would do some maintainence and changes before I go.

Amsoil series 2000 0w-30 synthetic oil (currently use)
high capacity oil filter (currently use)
B&M trick-shift synthetic DexIII & new trans filter
Redline synthetic 75w-140 gear oil for the diff (currently use)
Brass contacts Cap & rotor
dexcool flush

And I figured I'd step away from iridium plugs like the ACDelco 41-932 plugs I currently have gapped at .060" (suggested stock gap)

I heard that NGK TR55's or the TR6's are good to use.... the TR6 is a step colder and good for nitrous and super high compression, but I only have a 75hp nitrous shot and it doesn't get used every day and stock 9.2-1 compression.

I was thinking of going with the TR55's, a stock equivalent heat range. But perhapse gap them at .050"-.055" as suggested with nitrous. Anyone using this plug, or the TR6? Have you tried both, any difference in engine behavior?

Have you ever been to San Fran? I am from that area(san jose) acutally but i could tell you about a few cool place to check out, Pier 39 has some great sea food, stay away from the castro district unless you want to see grown men wearing leather chaps with their asses hanging out the back.
And if you go to other places around there you might want to check out half moon bay its off of 280 when u are driving say back towards san jose from frisco. Its really nice there this time of year they will be having the pumpkin festivle! Thats always cool or check out santa cruz! Its great there! the beach boardwalk is great! and if you remember the movie "the lost boys" when they jump off that bridge into the fog the bridge is right there near the boardwalk near the water ride!
Anyway talk to you soon!
HAve a fun and safe drive!

well, if no one has any input. I'll try the TR55's first and see what happens.
