    im on a rocker 3.4 set up, i went from 60,55, 53, and then 50. 50 felt the best.

    also played the gap game on the tr6's first. then went to 104's. 104's were better right out the box and only got better with the gap shrink.

    .050. when you get a gap checker tool, it will be pretty evident that its .0~ and not .5~

    Another great thing about copper plugs, cheap! Just keep the 103's for if you ever reach a higher mod level, and buy a set of 104's.

    Who cares what they're made for.

    That's why you tell them what plug you need instead of telling them what car it's for.

    They're probably for a Ford Ranger.
