2nd that. Currently running them in two supercharged and one turbo charged LS engine. However, if you're mild on boost, your stock plugs will do fine. If you have occasion to change them, I'd go back with the TR6's though.

Please get on NGKs website and READ,the generic answer that you will get is TR6s,that can cost you your motor.Rule is for every 75-100 hp go one step colder than you started with.

So if our plan is to get to about 650 at the wheels or roughly 250-300 above stock. Do we need 3-4 heat ranges cooler?

Stick with the stock Plugs, they work best.

We are running them at 742 RWHP.

my tuner wants tr6 so I popped them in. Seeing him Friday for a tune. A step colder. The e-force instructions made no mention of swapping plugs but it comes with a conservative tune. Im getting a custom tune since I have additional upgrades.
