Yeah, I know they are easy to change, not much more than a 20 min. job. I'm just lazy  I have always had a bit of surging at high rpms, even with smaller gap, but I may have had other things not quite right at the same time, so I will try the smaller gap again.

I have tr55s gapped at .045. I have my pro-flow 75mm w/k+n, shoshop y-pipe and replaced resonator.
Besides shortening the gap, anything else I could change that won't cost too much? I have a proflow optimizer, but I'm scared to put it on.

Yes, hence I run .035 gap and NGK TR6's.

What is the difference between the 55s and the 6s??

The 6's are 1 step colder.

The colder you go the more easily motor damage can happen. The way I understand it is that the plugs act like a fuse. Hotter plugs burn out easier. Plug burns out the piston does not.

How do you determine what gap to use?

Honestly, I went big .040 and experimented until I found the right gap. I kept running it and regapping until the spark quit blowing out.

That makes no sense...
A colder plug resists detonation better because it retains less heat.
For choosing a plug's heat range you want to run as cold a plug as possible without causing it to foul out because it's not hot enough to self clean.
A plug's heat range is basically it's ability to transfer heat to the cylinder head and it's water jackets. Therefore a colder plug transfers more heat and as a result has lower cylinder & plug temps. (I.E. ideal for high CR or Forced Induction)

Which plug do you guys recommend for using with the VCN-2000?
Does it depend on the size of shot I use?
thanks
