Default Nitrous plugs

I have an 88 with 383 stroker, AFR heads, Miniram intake, TPIS headers, 3.73 rear, ect. Car was built for nitrous (custom ROSS pistons, ring gaps, etc). About to put a 150-200 shot of juice on it. Just wondering what spark plugs you guys are running with your nitrous applications.

Default Projected Tip vs Standard

For nitrous you are better off with a non-projected tip plug.
NGK BR7EPS is a taper seat non-projected tip plug (.708" reach). If your heads require the gasket seat then take a look at NGK BR7ES which is also a non-projected tip plug but .775" reach and 13/16" hex. Attached photo shows projected vs. non-projected tip plugs.
