Default Which plugs w/ nitrous?

I am just wondering if I should change out my plugs and wires or just get the original ones again. I am gonna be running a 100 shot and would like to get the best out of it. I have heard good about the ngk tr55ix, is that the ones to go with?

I wont be spraying too often and its a daily driver so take that into consideration.

My truck has about 75k miles with Stock plugs and wires, tranny, and I run it with 87 octane.(on track day I will put 93) I am planning a tune up, what do you guys think?

if im not mistaken, i think the nitrous guys run the same plugs as us blown guys. i run a ngk tr6 gapped at .35 they are a colder plug than stock. im sure somone will chime in that runns the juice.

If I run a colder plug, will it affect every day driving since the nitrous isn't always on like a charger?

when i ran my 100 shot...i went with a cores cooler than stock plugs. and i think its the non-iridium tips also. b4 i sprayed i called NX and asked them about what they recommend and thats what they said. only thing having the cooler cores did for me, was it took a couple more turns to kick over in cold weather, but nothing was affected during driving conditions

TR6 plus gapped at betwen .045-.035 depending on your total HP change from stock.

You'll lose a tiny bit of power with this in N/A form but not enough to really hurt ya.

I agree. TR6's are the way to go, and there will be no noticible power loss by going to a colder plug. It is definately worth that for the help with detonation while spraying.
