Best spark plugs to use on cammed camaro - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

If you're cammed you must be tuned. Ask your tuner. Mine suggested TR'6's even with my baby cam. They'll last 20,000 easy. Every time I swap them they look great

I use NGK TR7's iriduim

Bo White · 01-20-2017, 11:27 PM

I used 7s when I was under boost too.

Im rocking stock plugs and a cam. They last longer and works fine for n/a moderate build. Ill swap for tr6 when theyre done. NGK do not last very long; they begin to be bad 8-10k for me.

Tr6 here

Bo White · 01-21-2017, 01:29 PM

22K miles. I can get twice that out of these for sure.

You can get the tr5ix or get the ac delco ones. You don't have force induction no need to for one step colder. If you want to go colder then get the TR6IX. IX stands for iridium when it comes to NGK plugs. Copper plugs are a better conductor of the spark but won't last as long as the iridums, and they need to be change between 20k to 30k miles.

So the tr5ix is a hotter plug

Yes, the higher the # the colder. Is easier for me to pin point the heat range of plugs for the ngk. If you want to get a colder plug ac delco brand you need to do a cross reference on the tr6 or tr6ix if you want iridiums or not.

Hmmm, looks like I need to change my plugs. I am not cammed yet, but have LT's, CAI and off road mids and a VMAX TB and a custom dyno tune and I think my tuner put NGK TR6's in there, and that was at about 19000 miles and now I am at 81000 miles. Car seems to run real good still and I get great fuel mileage to boot. What do you all think.. Thanks..

davidscamaro · 01-27-2017, 03:19 PM

ZR1/ls9 plug is ac delco and 6 heat range with 100000mile life

christianchevell · 01-27-2017, 05:56 PM
