    the usual crap i do on a tune up is this:

    tr55 plugs gapped .040
    new plug wires (stock)
    clean maf
    clean filter
    clean throttle body
    bottle of seafoam through gas
    spray seafoam thorugh intake (before new plugs)
    fuel filter if equipped
    check belts for cracks
    seafoam through crankcase.

    i like wix filters...or delco. they all do the job though.

    old mod list: H/C/I/N/E/G 408
    new mod list: 5.3, gears/posi, mufler and tune : (

    Can you gap an iridium plug? What is the difference between the recommended tr5 vs the tr55?

    Not be be an ass, but I am not sure if anyone has recommended a "tr5" plug? Just put TR55 plugs gapped at .040 and be done with it.

    Just tweaking the electrode on an iridium plug has been known to destroy one.
