Next coldest plug from NGK would be the BR-7.

Tom with your truck/mods you shouldnt have to go to a BR7...

I think that you have another problem...

Check some things out first..

fuel filter (possible clog)
02 sensors (maybe bad from long life, leaded fuel, fouled from running rich or lean)
vaccum leaks (does the truck pull low vacuum at idle or have a high idle?)
ic pump (should be flowing nicely if not it can run hot and possible ping)
have it checked out on a dyno for your air fuel mixture
Have it datalogged with LT and ST fuel trims taken

Give me a call sometime and if you still have the SCT chip Ill get it tuned for you.

TR8's are 2 colder than the TR6's.. Think maybe your running lean? How much boost?

Have you checked to make sure your intercooler pump is working under WOT?
