The TR6 is the right plug for your mods, hell I run the same plugs and mine never turned green but my truck is pig rich.
I would get your truck on a dyno and see what the air fuel is. Without a good A/F reading all we are doing is guessing.
If you are indeed running lean changing to a colder plug won't solve your problem, it will just mask or hide it a little.

Running lean was not your original problem though...green is lean or just bad fuel, did you ever hear any pinging ????
is it still running bad ?? have you put some good fuel in ...100 octane, in case it was bad fuel.

I had some green coloration on my stockers when we pulled them...I dont think it was on the top of the plug though.....we figured it was from using injector cleaner. My truck was/is running a bit lean...

(ALL IT TAKES IS ONE TANK OF BAD GAS, HAPPEN TO ME)
Change Plugs (YES GREEN =LEAN)
I'd add a good Injector Cleaner
and get some 100 Octane
Lean = MANY POSSIBILITY'S,
Clogged Injector, Filter, Bad Fuel, Crappy Fuel, WRONG OCTANE Fuel, Tune, etc....
My Truck was only a Virgin when it Happen
All it took was one tank of fuel from Amoco
(I have since then burnt the station down)
J/K
OR AM I ??? hehehehehehehe................
Cause
